Leaving broken hearts here on Earth, Elizabeth Fleet Prince of Locust Hill has joined her beloved father and taken her place in heaven. Elizabeth “Betty” gained her wings on Monday, Sept. 20, 2021.
She was preceded in death by her father, Carl Fleet Prince.
She is survived by her husband Bobby Morris; her sidekick (mother), Gladys Prince; and four sisters, Nancy Prince Jackson (Mike), Deborah Prince Gibrall (Johnny), Patricia Prince (Wayne), and Cheryl Prince Teagle (Ronnie).
She was aunt to Carla Teagle Faulkner, Chelsie Gibrall Habib, Ashley Teagle Wall and her favorite nephew, Chase Prince Gibrall. To Liam Penick, Anniston and Alexander Habib, and Ella and Emmie Faulkner she was Bet Bet and the great aunt everyone wishes he or she had. The children were the light of her life and brought her the greatest joy.
Her extended family included her VCU/MCV co-workers with whom she shared a special bond and host of loving aunts, uncles and cousins.
Betty retired from a distinguished career at VCU Medical Center after years of service.
Serving her church was a priority and she was a trustee and financial secretary at Philippi Christian Church. She loved singing and did it joyfully in the choir at Philippi for many years.
Betty had many lifelong friends and was known for her kindness, loyalty and unwavering love of family. She was a bright spot in this world. She was passionate about what she believed in and lived her Christian faith every day.
Her family will never be the same without her and there is a void in “The Prince Girls” lives.
A graveside service will be conducted at Philippi Memorial Garden on Saturday morning at 10:00 a.m., Sept. 25. A reception will follow immediately after at the Lower Middlesex Volunteer Fire Department in Deltaville. The large doors will be open for social distancing and safety. In lieu of flowers it was Betty’s wish that donations be made to VCU Children’s Hospital. Betty loved bright, colorful clothing so everyone is encouraged to wear your best and brightest to honor Betty’s life.
