Betty Harper Sierra, 89, passed away Monday, April 29, 2024, surrounded by her family.

Born in Elberton, Georgia on December 29, 1934, Betty was the daughter of the late Farrie Bell Snellings Harper and Gus Harper.

Betty graduated from Elberton High School and started her career at Ross L Brown Granite Co. where she met a granite salesman from Vermont. That salesman, Larry, became her husband and they enjoyed forty-six wonderful years of marriage.

Devoting her life to her family and friends, Betty left an indelible mark of kindness, love and affection and no one ever left her house hungry. Her insistence of a little slice of pie and sweet tea always seemed to brighten the day.

Betty was predeceased by her husband Larry Sierra, her brother Harry Harper and her sister Carolyn Harper Childs. She is survived by her daughter Elisa Sierra Buresh (Bob) of Clemson, SC, and son Michael L. Sierra (Bibby) of Greenville, SC. She has four grandchildren: Lauren Buresh Stroup (David), Brett Michael Buresh (Kelly), William Harris Sierra and Sara Grace Sierra and five great-grandchildren: Elisa Kate, Banks, Benjamin, Nolan and Finley.

A private memorial service will lay her to rest with all her family in attendance.

In lieu of flowers please consider memorials to Clemson Downs, 500 Downs Loop, Clemson, SC 29631, or Wren Hospice, 955 W Wade Hampton Blvd #3a, Greenville, SC 29650.
