Betty M. (Hilt) Laycock

Betty M. Laycock, age 99, of Sabina, passed away on Friday evening, January 26, 2024, at Clinton Memorial Hospital.

Born July 9, 1924, in Dayton, she was the daughter of Harry and Elva Eckhart Hilt.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Joseph E. Laycock in 2000.

Betty was a 1942 graduate of Stivers High School and was a devoted farm wife with all the obligations and satisfactions that go along with that.  Betty was also a wonderful homemaker, living independently in her home, on the family farm, until just a week ago.  She was a lifetime bowler and attended the Richland United Methodist Church.

She is survived by her children; Anita (Alan) Acchione of Woodbury MN., Jeanne (Jerry) Garrison of Sabina, Jay (Judy) Laycock of Sabina and Tim (Karen, dec.) Laycock of Wilmington.

Also left to cherish her memory are grandchildren: Anne-Marie (Keith) Wittenberg, Greg Laycock, Dennis (Rachel) Laycock, Jeff (Sabrina) Laycock, Brian Laycock, Amy (Mark) Patterson, Sean (Anne) Bosier, and Tim (Dawn) and Stephen (Laura) Bosier; several great grandchildren and one great great grandchild.

In addition to her husband, Betty was preceded in death by siblings: Rose Cambell and William Hilt.

Betty’s passions were the dogs in her life and her books.  Therefore, in lieu of floral tributes, memorial donations could be directed to the Clinton County Humane Society or the Sabina Library.
