I will remember Betty’s family during their time of grief in prayer.

The best mother-in-law & friend anyone could ask for. A very loving & caring person. Loyal to family. I will miss her being there when I want to talk to her. Betty was always fun to be with. RIP Betty.

We were so sorry to hear of Betty’s passing. When you think you will always be able to see someone and then find out they are gone….it really makes you reflect on the things you could have and should have done. We are really going to miss her; she was a wonderful neighbor and a wonderful person. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
