Betty Jean Ralston, of Weirton, passed away at her residence on June 24th, 2024, at the age of 65.
She was born on December 17th, 1958, in Weirton, and was the daughter of Dwight Leroy and Eva (Ralich) Ralston.
Betty Jean was a member of the Weir High School graduating class of 1977.
Throughout her life, Betty found fulfillment in various roles. She worked as a housekeeper at Weirton Medical Center, a ward clerk at Weirton Geriatric, and a volunteer in their activities department.
One of the greatest joys that she encountered in life was operating a babysitting service from her home, where she cared for many children whom she loved as her own.

In addition to her parents, Betty Jean was preceded in death by her brother Robert Lee Ralston.

As well as her brother, Thomas Leroy Ralston (Paula Kay), and sister Carolyn Ralston Delanta (Rusty), many nieces and nephews and fur babies; Simba, Sassy, and Taffy.
