Betty Louise Spencer was the second born daughter to her proud parents, Robert and Bertha McNabney. Her parents, husband Dean, and sister Roberta preceded her in death. She is survived by her loving children Diane and Will and a slew of nieces and nephews. She grew up in Tulsa and attended Will Roger's High School where she played the clarinet in the marching band. She was working for a law firm when she met her future husband through her dentist, Don Spencer. A young Dean had just joined his father's practice and Don decided that Betty would be perfect for his young protegee. Betty quickly won Dean's heart with her sharp mind, good looks and charming personality. Betty wore many hats over the years, wife and mother of their children, office manager for Dean's practice, and navigator and tour guide for the family. She served for many years working for then Representative Inhofe helping constituents navigate government bureaucracy and red tape. When Dean and Betty moved from Tulsa to their farm outside Vinita, Betty served as the director for the Humane Society of Green Country. She was a frequent contributor to the local paper and was responsible for saving / placing hundreds if not thousand of cats and dogs. She was always there to help find a better way or just provide comfort whether you had fur or not. She would not back away from any challenge. She passed on her lessons of kindness, love and doing the right thing to all whose lives she touched. She enjoyed needlework and playing both the piano and organ. She and Dean were active members of their church in Vinita. She was Dean's copilot in every aspect of their lives and as a family or couple they traveled all over the U.S. and Canada. She left this world a better place because of her time in it. She will always be deeply loved and greatly missed.
