Ann, my thoughts and prayers are with you and all who loved your sister. Both my cousin Nancy and my sister Vicky spoke so highly of her. Knowing her brightened their lives. She will be greatly missed and fondly remembered. Love, Mary (Trosclair)

I married into one of the most loving families that have amazingly sweet women & Aunt Betty is one of them. She was always such a joy to visit with, & I'm so thankful to have known her. Always so sweet & encouraging to me & always made me laugh with her spunky sassy personality. Truly a woman I admired. I'm going to miss her so much but I know she's in the arms of Jesus now & there's no better place to be!
We are praying for you to feel the Lord's comfort during this time & we love you...

I will never forget Miss Betty, as I called her . She was cool and she gave me my 1st cool haircut when I was a teenager. She "feathered" my hair and gave me a long shag. She seemed like a great mom and role model. She will be missed.

Dear, sweet Betty. I loved when you were on the house because I knew it would be a day of wit, laughter and lots of fun. And on special days, there would be a long delicious sandwich on a 2x4! Loved working with you and knowing you. You will be missed. Godspeed...until we meet again.
