Betty Sue (Hodges) Stanley

Betty Sue Hodges Stanley, 78, a resident of Thomasville, passed away on Friday evening, November 7, 2025 at her home.  She was born on October 23, 1947, in Guilford County, to her parents, the late Raymond George Hodges, Sr. and Eva Mae Childress Hodges.  Betty attended Woodlawn Baptist Church in High Point and was a dedicated RN at High Point and Thomasville Hospitals, Hospice of the Piedmont and several other locations in the area – her passion was nursing and it showed in the way she cared and wanted to help people. She enjoyed trips to Buggs Island with her family when the children were smaller and she spent summers relaxing at the beach. Betty was a crafter and made wreaths, crochet items and needlepoint items.  Most of all she loved her family and adored her grandchildren.
