Betty Lou (nee Hartmann) Wood, 80, passed away Monday, November 30, 2020 in Virginia Beach after a tough battle with numerous health issues. She was born in Cincinnati, Ohio on August 6, 1940 to the late George Rufus Calvin and Velma Lucille (nee Thomas) Hartmann.

Betty formerly lived in Beeville, TX where she raised her four children herself, through their teenage years. She moved to Virginia Beach after her children left home to be closer to her daughter and her three sons shortly followed. It was when she moved to Virginia Beach that she met her husband Charles. She worked hard all her life supporting her children and loved family gatherings, crocheting, and cooking.

She worked with her son at AAA McCoy’s Right-Away Moving and Hauling for several years and took over ownership after his death, until her own failing health forced her to retire.

Along with her parents, she is predeceased by her brothers, David L. and George C. Hartmann, and her sons, Joel A. and Edward A. McCoy.

She is survived by her husband, Charles B. Wood; son, Richard P. McCoy (Sandy); and daughter, Rebecca R. Dutsch (Gary), all of Virginia Beach; grandchildren, Denise, Michael, Jason, Matthew, Julianna, Justin, Ryan, and Brandon; several great-grandchildren, Selena, Sebastian, Brandon, and Hayden.
