I’m blessed to have met Betty many years ago when she worked at the Oakhurst Foodland. She was a beautiful person inside and out! She had a smile and a kind word for everyone. I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to her family and friends. May she rest in peace.
What a wonderful person. I not only had the pleasure to have Betty as a cousin, but I also had the honor to have been a neighbor since 1980. I miss her stopping to talk with my wife and I when she was out walking the neighborhood, which she did religiously for years. She was such a kind and beautiful lady and I will miss her very much.
One of the most beautiful ladies I ever met. She was always so kind and loving. God bless her.
My thoughts and prayers go out to each family member. I feel so honored to have had the opportunity to be a part of Betty’s life. She brought so much joy to our Bellaire family. The selfish part of me wanted to keep her here forever, but I rejoice in knowing that she is released of the shackles that dementia had on her. May each passing day bring peace to each of you. God bless.
Absolutely the most beautiful and loving woman. I was blessed to have her in my life for 38 years and God blessed me with the most precious soul ever to be my grandmother. I know she is rejoicing with my great grandma and my grandfather and I look forward to the day that we are once again reunited! Maw maw you left us way to soon that’s for sure but your and papaws memory and love will forever live in me until we meet again
