Betty Shoda Bunton
August 16, 1940 - August 8, 2019
Funeral Home Rose-Neath Shreveport Marshall St.
HIGH FLIGHT
Oh, I have slipped the surly bounds of the Earth
And danced the skies on laughter silvered wings
While with the silent lifting mind I’ve trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space
Put out my hand and touched the face of God
Mrs. Betty passed away Thursday, August 8, 2019 after a short illness with her family by her side.

She is survived by her step daughter, Shannon Bunton Gumm of Tucson Arizona; her aunt, Ruth Elmore of Keswick, Virginia and her uncle, James S. Mayberry Sr. of Athens West Virginia.
