\t\t\tOBITUARY\t\t<\/p>\n
With sadness in our hearts the Duke family announces the passing of their matriarch Betty Ann Duke on August 4, 2026. She was born in Anna, Texas on June 1, 1934, to parents Karl Sanstrome Hale and Maude Gertrude (Brimer). She graduated from High School on June 1951. The following year she married Lionel Vance Duke, Jr. a member of the United States Navy. As a result of Vance\u2019s thirty-three-year career Betty traveled and lived in many locations while making friends with whom she kept in close contact up to her passing. One duty station was the Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay Cuba where she was an elementary school teacher. After Cuba, the Duke family was stationed in San Francisco California then transferred to San Diego where she earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Counseling and Guidance Technology from National University. After a transfer to Washington D.C., Betty entered the civil service working for the Veteran\u2019s Administration. After transferring her position to Long Beach, she attended the University of California at Long Beach earning a master\u2019s degree in public administration while working for the Federal Government as a Budget Analyst. Upon returning to San Diego, she continued working for the Federal Government as a Budget Analyst for the Navy Operational Support Center (NOSC) located in Point Loma. Upon retirement from NOSC, she spent the next several years traveling the globe with her husband to places such as Viet Nam, Australia, Alaska and throughout the United States and Canada. When at home in San Diego she enjoyed gardening, reading, playing the piano, going to the gym and being with friends and family. Betty is survived by her daughter Ann Duke (Mario) and her son Larry Duke (Kay). She is also survived by her granddaughter Alisha Adams (Sean) and her great granddaughters Vivian Adams and Eleanor Adams. Betty was a woman of deep faith and spent Sundays attending services at Faith Bible Fellowship, her church for several years. She lived her life according to her faith as a devoted wife, loving mother and doting grandmother and great grandmother. She will be deeply missed. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Betty Ann Duke OBITUARY With sadness in our hearts the Duke family announces the passing of their matriarch…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":436090,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[74,76,75],"class_list":["post-436089","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego","tag-san-diego","tag-san-diego-headlines","tag-san-diego-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/436089","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=436089"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/436089\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/436090"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=436089"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=436089"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=436089"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
