Aunt Betty was a wonderful person and an awesome aunt. Our mother was killed in a car accident when I was only 7 years old and she helped us kids through the pain with her smile and the funny things she would say. She made us smile and she had the most contagious smile. No matter what was going on she would always make it better just by being HER. I will miss you Aunt Betty. I wish I could have come to visit you before you left to make the angels in heaven smile. I guess we couldn't keep you to ourselves...we had to share you. Now Jesus has you so whenever I see the rays coming from the sun I will say, " Yep, our loved ones are shining down on us and watching over us" I love you Aunt Betty. I want all of our family know that I am thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers. Please take care of each other and love one another.. Life is too short!! I love you all.

So very sorry for your loss. Betty was such a sweet and gentle soul. She will be missed by her family as well as all who knew her. She will forever be in your heart and on every gentle breeze blowing. I will remember her smile always and her ability to make you feel like family even if you weren't a blood relation. May it comfort you knowing she is no longer in pain and with her Lord and Savior.

Betty was not only my sweet sister, but my friend. She was a caring woman who loved her family more than anything. She was devoted to our parents, sisters, brothers and her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was a great cook and whatever she endeavored, she succeeded. I think the VFW was her second home because she loved what it stood for. She will be missed immensely. I love you, Betty!!
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

God bless Ms. Bettys family. She will be missed by many but god has brought a true angel home. I am blessed to have known her and my family was graced by her gentle presence. She was truly a giving soul and her passing will be felt by many. My husband Larry, my daughter Delaney and myself were truly blessed to have called her a friend, with a heavy heart we wish her well on her next adventure. If there was any soul so deserving of a blessed journey it is Ms. Betty. Namaste
