Betty was a dear friend for many years. I met her thru a mutual friends, Pat Johnson & Sandra Wilson. We had many good times together, playing bridge, trips to Pennsylvania, St Michael's and others, antique shopping, and lots of fellowship and laughter
She was a beautiful true LADY inside and out. I am blessed to have known her and had her as a friend. Love and prayers to her sons and their families.

My home church is New Bridge. Betty had a pivotal role in my life, as she faithfully corresponded with me while I was in college. God brought us back together later in life through her daughter in law, Karen. Betty indeed was the hands and feet of Jesus in many ways and I will always treasure her many kindnesses. My condolences to all of the family. Love Janice Igou

Betty and I were neighbors when our children were in school. She had an effervescent personality, always smiling. It was a pleasure to know her.
With Sympathy to the family,
