She was born on May 6, 1942, in Cleveland, Tennessee to the late John P. and Velma Ownbey McKnight.  Throughout life, Ms. Bettie developed a love and passion for crafting, including quilting and embroidering.  She was a talented lady that was loved by all who knew her and in her later years enjoyed coloring, jig-saw puzzles, reading, and was an avid shopper.  A friend to many, Ms. Bettie loved spending time with her friends and family and was a member of Oak Grove Baptist Church. 

In addition to her parents, John and Velma McKnight, she was preceded by her beloved husband, Burch A. Presswood; siblings, Jackie McKnight and Ronnie Lee McKnight; mother and father-in-law, Joe and Audie Presswood.

Left to cherish the many memories include her beloved son, Robert Presswood; sister, Marilyn Martin; niece, Sherrell Gargala; grandchildren, Trevor Welch, Tyler Welch, and Briley Allmon; siblings, C.J. (Janet) McKnight and Tony McKnight.  Several aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and a host of friends also survive.
