I will always remember Betty’s beautiful smile and her welcoming hug. Joe and I have known Betty for nearly 30 years through square dancing and camping. All of the memories are good ones and she will be missed. We know she is at home with the Father .

Betty was the sweetest kindest woman we ever met. The love she and Ed had for their family was outstanding. We will miss her and will keep Ed in our prayers.

The list of our wonderful times with Betty will be ever lasting. She was the most wonderful friend I have ever had. Her friendship, smile, her love of her family are just a few things I can say. She made me feel like I was part of her family. My condolences to her family. She will be missed by everyone.
