Betty Dean Harvey Heineman, 91, of Fairlawn, passed away Friday, Sept. 11, 2026. Born Jan. 14, 1935, she was a member of Fairlawn Baptist Church. Betty was a good Christian woman who believed in reading her Bible and going out witnessing. She started teaching Sunday school in 1963 and served on many committees in the church throughout her lifetime. Many people appreciated her offerings of macaroni and cheese or chocolate pie when there was a church dinner or when they were sick or had a death in the family.
Betty was born in Elgood, W.Va., daughter of the late Homer and Hattie Harvey. She was also preceded in death by her husband, William (Wild Bill) Heineman and she outlived all her siblings and their spouses, Cecil (Pauline) Harvey, Donzie (Juanita) Harvey, Emma (Charlie) Jones, Beulah (Buck) Jones and Ann (Oscar) Meadows. She also lost a son and daughter-in-law, Keith and Patricia Heineman.
Left to cherish her memory are her children, Terry Pugh and Melanie (Randy) Boyd; grandchildren, Justin (Brandy) Boyd and Jared (Kristin) Pugh; great-grandchildren, Henry and Lachlan Boyd and Nina Pugh; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Special thank you to the ladies at Cozy Home Haven and Ireland with Gentiva that cared and took such good care of her.
The family received friends Friday, Sept. 18, 2026, at Fairlawn Baptist Church. Funeral services followed with Pastor Gary Stike officiating. Interment followed in Sunrise Burial Park in Fairlawn.
