Betty was such an awesome lady, full of life and an incredible sense of humor. I will always remember who she would walk into the store with a straight face and then tell a sassy joke and then she'd have a huge smile on her face and her eyes would sparkle. Just beautiful.

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.

It was always a pleasure to see Betty's smilin' face. She constantly lit up SHYC with her charm.
She'll be missed.

On occasion as a teenager I would baby sit for the Jones "kids".
Fast forward to our wedding day August 26, 1961. Betty graciously lent her beautiful voice to our ceremony, singing "Panis Angelicus".
Several years ago we met after all those years at a Music and Arts concert at Christ and Holy Trinity...

Betty was my voice teacher for 15 years. She was a good friend, and a fine teacher. On top of that, she had a wonderful sense of humor!
She often attended my performances, and I enjoyed working with her.
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...
