Several classmates and her band leader, Jerry Atkins, attended her funeral two days later at her church, Beech Street Baptist. It was held on April 16 at 2 p.m., four hours after Martin's, also during heavy rainfall. Texas High School dismissed its students at noon that day so that they could be at her funeral. Hundreds of young people attended the separate funerals. Betty's mother could not control her grief as she watched the long line of teenagers file by Betty's casket. Atkins was one of the pallbearers. She was then buried in Woodlawn Cemetery, located between 3006 State Line Avenue and 3085 County Avenue. Miss Booker was survived by her mother (died in 1977), stepfather, both grandparents, three aunts, and three uncles.
