I had the honor and privilege of knowing Betty for thirteen years. She had the kindest heart and the sweetest personality. She loved when I would visit and bring her donuts and kolaches. We could visit for hours and talk about any and everything and not realize how much time had gone by. She literally got to see my son, Connor grow up from a baby into a teenager. She loved when I would bring him to visit and would give him the biggest hugs. She was well respected and liked by her neighbors. We loved her as if she was part of our family and she will always be in our hearts and memories. I loved her like a grandmother and will always remember her smile when she would see me coming up the stairs to visit her. We would say “I love You” to each other when I would leave and blow a kiss and wave good-bye. I love you Betty with a kiss and a wave until we meet again in Heaven.
Our sincerest condolences for your families loss. Doris, Betty thought the world of you as a sister and always enjoyed when you would take her to Top Water for lunch. She always smiled when she talked about you and I could tell you both had a very close connection. I know Austin and the rest of her family is ready to welcome and greet her into heaven. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Sincerely,
Carrie
