Chickasha, OK - Betty Lou (Bishop) Streetman was born on July 9, 1943, in Hope, Arkansas, to Ira and Pauline Bishop. She passed away peacefully on February 6, 2026, at the age of 82, in Chickasha, Oklahoma.
Betty was a proud and loving mother and the heart of her family—a woman whose love, guidance, and steady presence shaped generations. Her life was rich with deep family bonds, shared memories, and the joy of watching her family grow. Though she is no longer with us, her spirit lives on through every life she touched. She will be dearly missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew her.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Ira and Pauline Bishop; her brother, Nylan Wayne Bishop; her son, Stephen Streetman; her grandson, Joshua Harris; and her beloved dog, Babygirl.
Betty is survived by her devoted husband of 64 years, Foy Streetman, of Chickasha, Oklahoma; her children, Natalie Cassady and husband Clay of Verden, Oklahoma, Selani Harris and husband Billy of Amber, Oklahoma, and Nathan Streetman of Chickasha, Oklahoma. She is also survived by her grandchildren: Sarah and husband Josh, Chad, Ryan, Jason and wife Christi, Amber, Amanda, and Maranda. Her legacy continues through her many great-grandchildren: Shyann, Sierra, Jarred, Sean, Kristen, Cade, Bryce, Dream, Konner, Dakota, Jacob, Madison, Aaron, Jeremiah, Riley, Elizabeth, and Samuel, as well as her great-great-grandchildren: Aliyah, Austin, Carter, Denver, Brynlee, Blakely, and Kaiser.
As a young girl, Betty moved to Plains, Texas, where she lived with her aunt and uncle after her mother, due to financial hardship, made the difficult decision to place her with relatives. Even at a young age, Betty's outgoing spirit shone brightly. She participated in school plays and proudly played the trumpet in the school band. It was at school events that Betty met Foy. What began as a friendship soon blossomed into a love neither expected. Foy proposed at Keller Farm—an abandoned farm filled with swings, trees, and water troughs—where the two often enjoyed quiet picnics together. They were married on July 20, 1961, beginning a lifetime partnership rooted in love and devotion. While Foy worked in the oilfield, Betty and Foy began raising their family. They later ventured into business together, opening Streetman Department Store, where Betty worked faithfully for ten years. The family eventually moved to Abilene, Texas, where Betty worked in manufacturing, beginning with jewelry pouches and later with a cowboy shirt manufacturing company. During this time, she remained actively involved in church and her community. After a brief move to New Orleans, Betty and Foy felt the pull to be closer to family and returned to Texas, settling in Sherman for several years. While there, Betty furthered her education by attending Grayson County College. Eventually, they returned to the oilfield and made their home in Chickasha, Oklahoma, where they have lived for the past 45 years. In 2004, they opened Gorilla World, a retail store that reflected their strong work ethic, entrepreneurial spirit, and dedication to family and community.
Betty's life was one of resilience, love, faith, and unwavering devotion to those she held dear. Her legacy will live on through her family and the countless lives she touched.
A funeral service will be held at 1:00pm, Wednesday, February 11, 2026 at Southern Oaks Church of Christ followed by interment in Fairlawn Cemetery. Services are under the direction of McRay Funeral Home.
