I worked with your mom at Memorial Clinic 25 years ago. She trained me as a receptionist way back then. What a joy to work with her every day. She was so nice and patient and a true friend. She loved her family so much, we spent many hours talking about our children and her love for her children. Sorry to hear of her passing, what a nice lady she was.

I was sorry to hear of your mom's passing. She was a friend of my mother-in-law, Margaret Wilkins, and we used to see Betty when she'd stop by on Sunday mornings. She was such a nice lady. She will be missed by those who knew her. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

I have known the Roberts family for many years. My husband Lawrence and I were good friends with her folks in the Olympia area and we were neighbors. Betty was a beautiful person. Betty Cranke

I got to know your mom as she was one of the "coffee girls", along with my mom, Margaret Wilkins. Betty was a very sweet lady, and it was a pleasure to get to spend time with her. She will be very much missed!
