This memorial website was created in memory of our beloved mother and grandmother, Betty Jeanne Waddell Duncan, 89, born on May 2, 1922, in Tulsa, OK, and passed away on December 8, 2011, in Plano, TX.  Her joy was her family and she loved sports.  Once a dance skater, figure skater and avid bowler, she loved watching the Dallas Cowboys and the Texas Rangers on TV. When I was very small she slammed her left (bowling) hand in the car door, but went on to bowl with it in league play the same day.  She loved watching ice skating competitions on TV and even took figure skating lessons (on roller skates) when she was in her 50's.  She loved dancing in the latter part of her life, and this past time was no doubt the key to her long life and good health.  Mother played the piano by ear in spite of the fact she was profoundly deaf half of her life.  She loved expressing her opinions in local newspaper editorials defending the underdogs like herself.  She loved to brag about her kids to anyone who would listen. Her dark brown hair at the time of her death had only a minimum of gray hair which is amazing since she lived to be 89 years of age.
