Grandma Betty was one of a kind! She was always so sweet,kind and generous and was an outgoing and fun spirit! We always enjoyed being around her and spending special holidays with her and when we went to church with her and she would let you know that she enjoyed singing and praising the Lord and always made us feel welcomed at church and in her home and she Always considered and thought of my brothers and my families as her family as well and not just step grandchildren! I will miss her laugh ,her beautiful smile and her own simple ways of making you feel special. We love you Grandma Betty and we will never forget you and will sadly be missed. I pray you are with your Husband Once again and with the lord And watch over your wonderful family whos always been there for you and all the grand children and great grandchidren and great great grandchildren that unfortunaley you never had the chance to meet!
