Betty R Wills

“Betty" Mary Elizabeth Rosser Wills passed away on Sept 16, 2022 at the age of 96. She was born in Chattanooga, TN to James Ralph Rosser and Louis Brownlee Rosser and spent her childhood years in Lafayette, GA. She was a graduate of Wesleyan College in Macon, Georgia. She was married to the late Thomas Jackson Wills III of Washington Georgia. Jack was an Annapolis graduate whose tours of duty included California, Guam, Florida, Virginia, and Washington, DC. Together they raised three challenging sons. Their final tour of duty was Charleston, SC where Betty first taught art history at the Baptist college. She then spent many years teaching social studies in the lower school at Porter-Gaud School. In her 20 years at Porter-Gaud she touched the lives of many students. In 1982 the Porter-Gaud yearbook was dedicated to her - the only time a lower school teacher had been so honored. During her tenure at Porter Gaud the "Betty R. Wills Citizenship" was created in her name, not to honor the most academically gifted or the best athlete, but the student who demonstrated the best qualities of good character, honesty, and kindness. Betty was an accomplished artist and pursued a love of painting her whole life. Her family is left to cherish the work she created. Her love of children was reflected in her devotion to her family. 
 Betty was preceded by her husband Thomas Jackson Wills III and her son James Rosser Wills (Vickie). She is survived by her two sons, Thomas Jackson Wills IV (Julie) of Charleston, SC and Mark Jordan Wills (Pam) of Augusta, GA., six grandsons and one granddaughter and five great grandchildren.
