Elizabeth Carroll Anderson Martin passed away on Wednesday, the 24th of May 2023 in Austin, Texas.
Elizabeth "Betsey" was born on the 27th of July 27 1942, in Houston, Texas to parents Dillon Anderson and Lena Carter Carroll Anderson. She attended St Johns School and Texas Tech University where she was a member of the Chi Omega sorority.

On the 31st of July 1965, Betsey married Ronald Engel Martin. Betsey and Ronnie had two daughters, Holley and Catherine. Betsey was a member of the Junior League of Houston, the Alter Guild at St. Martin's Church, the Houston Country Club and the Bayou Club.

Though a lifelong resident of Houston Betsey was most at home in the country. As a little girl Betsey spent much of her time in her family's country home in Camden, TX with her beloved grandmother, Damie. It was there that her lifelong love of cooking began. Anyone who has ever eaten at Betsey's table can attest that her culinary talents as well as the portions were nothing short of legendary.

Aside from her family and cooking Betsey's other great love was raising Beefmaster cattle with Ronnie at their ranch in Independence, Texas. She was a lifetime member of the Beefmaster Breeders United and was widely recognized for the quality of her cattle that often topped the BBU sales.

Betsey was preceded in death by her parents.

A memorial service is to be conducted at one o'clock in the afternoon on Monday, the 12th of June, at St. Martin's Episcopal Church, 717 Sage Road in Houston.

Immediately following, all are invited to greet the family during a reception in the adjacent Bagby Parish Hall.

Prior to the service, the family will gather for a private interment at Glenwood Cemetery in Houston.
