When my family moved to Willistown Twp in 1964, I entered Sugartown School, 2nd grade. Mrs Dill was my teacher--I remember her always being kind and encouraging. How many little ones she must have helped along the way! God rest her soul.

Aunt Betty was a dear Aunt She always had time for the people in her life and made us feel special. I will always remember her love of nature, her crafty cards and her love of her family. . I have many good memories of the family get togethers at the farm. My Mom would call her weekly and they could chat. They shared the many fun experiences they had, as well as their love of Lawrence Welk. We all cherish our wonderful memories: She will be dearly missed by her family and friends Love, Kathy

Aunt Betty always had a twinkle in her eye, and would always invite anyone to sit and chat and have some tea or cookies. She had a love of learning and was so beautifully accepting of all people. She leaves many memories which I will carry with me. I have a collection of her pressed flowers and cards that she cross stitched which I plan on framing. She was a treasure and she will be missed. Much love to all the family gathered today to celebrate her life. I am so sorry to miss seeing you all. Love Weaz
