Betty Sue Ollestad, 75, of Columbia, KY died Monday, September 30, 2019 at Summit Manor Nursing Home. Born in Gradyville, KY she was the daughter of the late Ralph and Eula Maupin Burris.
Ms. Ollestad was a member of the Trinity United Methodist Church. Betty known as Miss Betty, Sue Sue, Grandma Betty and Granny Betty was a wonderful mother, friend, family member, Boss Lady and a major unknown philanthropist to many families, children, charities and individuals of the community that we will never know about. Betty, although a very strict “hard-nosed boss,” was very loved by her employees as she loved them. Together they have served the community through Betty’s Country Cooking for 30 years. Although Betty has gone to greater places, her legacy will continue to serve the community through the restaurant. She was an avid Jeff Gordon/Nascar fan and supporter of St. Jude Charities.
In addition to her parents she was preceded in death by a sister Reba Rogers and two brothers Bobby and Glen “Monkey” Burris.
