Betty loved her Lord, her family, a great meal, a good laugh, and a beautiful flower. She was a wonderful daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, aunt and friend… but most of all, she was a loving Christian who will be sorely missed but our hearts are full knowing she is radiant in the presence of her Savior!
