She was born on October 14, 1942, in Coweta, OK, to George Daniel Wilson and Lottie Jane (Eden) Wilson. Betty's life was marked by her unwavering faith and love for her family.

She was a 1963 graduate of Coweta High School, where she formed lifelong friendships and developed a love for learning. On January 5, 1963, she married the love of her life, Alfred Paul Matlock, in Coweta, OK. Their union was blessed with four sons, and together, they built a home filled with love, laughter, and faith.

Betty was a devoted homemaker who took great pride in caring for her family. She was also an active member of the New Home Free Will Baptist Church, where she found great joy in her faith and fellowship with her church family.
