Dear Steve, Bryan, and Jeff-- today I learned about your Mom. Her friendship meant so very much to my Mom. When my Mom became ill, your mom became such a strong friend to lean on. Betty was such a giving friend to everyone. May your memories of her bring you peace in the days ahead. Prayers to you all. Deb Mesley

Steve, I'm saddened to learn you've lost your mom. What a sweet and fun woman! I loved working with both your parents for many years, and always smile remembering her story about losing her sunglasses from Gorden's little plane. Treasure your memories. Mary Cox

In loving memory of a wonderful person. I had the privilege of knowing Betty here at Wittenberg. She always had a smile on her face when I saw her and she went out of her way to help everyone, going well beyond what was expected of her. Rest in Peace Betty.

What a woman Betty was. I loved her presence at the Wittenberg Credit Union: always honest, always full of vim and vigor, wonderfully competent. I missed her immensely when she left. Peace to those whom she leaves behind.
