To George, Don, Dave, Donna and all of Betty's family and friends who loved her. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My memories of her will always be with me as they will with you. She always had a fast smile and a great sense of humor. My fondest will be the Bennett Springs Bunch. Even as a co-worker at the bank she never had a cross word and when I struggled learning about the bank, she was my cheerleader and support system. Take comfort knowing how many lives she touched. Too many to count. She will be missed. My thoughts and prayers will be with you.
I don't have one specific memory to share, because she was such a part of the community. She was like so many of the "housewives" in our town who provided a wonderful working role model for us before we knew the word feminist. She and others were so much more than one of the moms. Always there for all of us. Condolences to the family.
