Victor Bettis

He was a 1979 graduate of Southside High School in Fort Smith, received his Bachelor’s degree in finance from University of Central Arkansas, and his MA in Operation Management from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.

Victor was an accomplished manager with a strong work ethic and gift for details.

He served as a longstanding Board Member for the North Little Rock Chamber of Commerce. He was also an active member of APICS and the Sherwood Chamber of Commerce.

Vic’s smile, infectious laugh, epic dad jokes, and devotion to his family and friends will be greatly missed. In August 2010, he married his beloved wife, Gina K. Bettis, with whom he spent almost 10 years. He loved golfing, baseball, dining at El Chico, traveling on cruises, classic rock, and supporting local theaters.

Victor is survived by his wife and parents; his sisters, Barbara Bettis Lee and husband, Greg, and Karen Abernathy, husband, Steve, of Oklahoma; children Megan, Jacqueline, and Evan Bettis and stepdaughter Kathryn Kellogg; an extended family of nieces, nephews, and cousins; and countless friends whose lives he touched.
