 Betty was the epitome of grace and strength, known for her kindness, elegance, and beauty. A devoted wife and mother, she faced life’s challenges with resilience and determination, always with her family first. A true class act.

 Betty was a woman of God that dedicated her life to serving in the church and raising her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren consistently sharing her beliefs. She was a true domestic goddess. She kept an immaculate house, was a great cook & baker, and raised all of us with love and kindness.

 Betty’s favorite sports were basketball, football, and golf. She loved bowling.

 Her boundless generosity, radiant spirit, and unwavering devotion to those she loved will be missed, yet her legacy of kindness, courage, and strength will live on in all who had the privilege and pleasure of knowing her.
