Always a positive and cheerful person, Betty was loved by all. She was happiest when surrounded by friends and family, especially her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Whether teaching in the classroom, or serving in the children’s ministries of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, she always had a heart for children and they loved her in return.
