BETTY STUBBS HAVEN

Betty Stubbs Haven passed from this life to her heavenly reward on June 6, 2022, at the age of 83.

Betty was born the daughter of Hilma Enger Stubbs and James Clifford Stubbs on December 31, 1938, in Cranfills Gap. She was one of nine children who grew up in humble beginnings as a sharecropper’s daughter but rose to the heights of the corporate world as a key member of executive teams to vice-presidents and CEOs at some of the nation’s top Fortune 500 companies, including Marriott and Quest Diagnostics. She attributed key abilities for her successful career, such as assuming responsibility and keen decision making, to her father and mother’s loving and strict upbringing.

Betty is survived by her daughter Pamela DeRita and her husband Kevin DeRita of Garland, daughter Heidi Haven of Ashland, Oregon, granddaughters Claire Alexander of Los Angeles, and Isabella DeRita of Garland, her brother Jim Stubbs and wife Barbara of West Columbia, brother-in-law Robert Gohlke of Gatesville, and sister-in-law Dorothy Stubbs of Woodway, and many extended family members, cousins, nieces and nephews.

A memorial service will be held at Our Savior Lutheran Church, 411 North Town East Blvd., Mesquite, Texas, on Saturday, June 25, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. The graveside service will follow the funeral service at 4:00 p.m. at Boggy Cemetery, Cranfills Gap, Texas.
