Sundays at EUB, later Memorial United Methodist, meant seeing Betty's smiling face.
She will be missed.

When I think of Betty I think of Memorial. As a young child she was one of the adults guiding our steps each Sunday. As an adult she was still guiding my steps. She helped me become a better Sunday school teacher.
The other day I came across some pictures I'd taken at Memorial of the 'bus' we'd made for a special program for the kids. There were also snap shots of her on our fieldtrip to the Trolley car museum.
She was a woman full of love. She loved God, Life and her family. She will be missed.
