Elizabeth Ann 'Betty' Bridges Cochran passed away in Shawnee, Oklahoma on Wednesday, May 17, 2017, at the age of 82 years.

She was brought up in the Holdenville and Hulsey communities, and attended Hulsey and Moss schools. She was married to Bobby Gene Bridges in 1950, and they were blessed with two sons.
