Betty Jo Simpson, also known as Grandma Betty, lost her battle with lung cancer on August 2.

Her grandson Zach had set up an Instagram account for his 80-year-old grandmother earlier this year, describing Grandma Betty as a Cancer Fighter and Follower of Jesus.

The most recent photo posted to her Instagram account shows Grandma Betty’s dog Harley resting on the empty rocking chair that she had often been pictured sitting in.

It was accompanied by the caption: “After a much needed night of rest , Grandma has come to peace with her battle of Lung Cancer.

Although Grandma Betty is no longer physically with us, she will forever be in the hearts of the millions of people she touches every single day.

Grandma Betty did not lose her battle to cancer, because her legacy she has left behind will inspire millions of people to #Smile, #BeHappy, and #StayHappy no matter what. The fight has ended. The battle is won”.

Below are some of the photos which tell us what a special lady Grandma Betty was.
