Lois & I were friends with Doug & Betty for about 40 years. By chance we even vacationed in Hawaii together (unplanned) perhaps ten years ago. Betty was a one-of-a-kind. There never will be another.

I learned much about singing and life from her, and I was impressed by her knowledge and wisdom. The stories she shared about opera experiences, funny mishaps and challenges were priceless.

Her voice as an opera singer was gorgeous: I had the privilege of...

Always laughing. My Mom worked for Doug Jones, Betty's husband. She was great friends with both Betty and Doug. Doug,My Deepest condolences. I will always remember Bettys' Smiles and her outrageously great laugh! She will be missed by all. With love, Betsy Heibler Pantaleo.
