Not sure what to say?

Bettie was very influential in my development as a Med Tech. She always had a fantastic disposition even when dealing with difficult people and situations. It’s sad news to hear of her passing but knowing she is now with the angels makes me smile. Heaven gained a great angel.

I knew Bettie for many years. Not only was she a smart woman but a caring person. I saw her go above and beyond helping people when they needed it. I regret we lost contact over the years.

I knew Bettie in 1965. I just graduated from high school and started drawing blood at James Walker hospital. She was a Med Tech student and was pregnant with Eddie.
She was a sweet caring person. I then worked in the lab at New Hanover when she was in charge.
Enjoyed working with her. Sad to hear she has passed.

I will always remember Aunt Bettie with her most Brillant and Beautiful Smile. She was person. Rest in peace Aunt Bettie.

I am so sorry to hear this news. I met Bettie many years ago when I first started attending Wrightsboro Baptist Church. She was a strong, faithful Christian lady. Bettie loved the Lord, her family, Church, and those she surrounded herself with.

I don’t think I ever saw Bettie walk from one place to another, she ran.

I am so sorry to hear this. She was a beautiful person and a close friend. She will be missed by all. RIP Betty

May God bless the family and friends of Bettie during this time of such sorrow. Bettie was such a a wonderful person and leader. I met Bettie when she gave me the opportunity to work in the lab at New Hanover!

Bettie was one of the loveliest people I've ever known. Her kindness to everyone was so genuine and her beautiful smile was always present to brighten my day.
