Those of us who played tennis or learned the game of tennis and lived in the City of Radford or the New River Valley, thank Betsy and Russ Davis and the Radford High Tennis Patrons for seeking more courts near the high school.

It was an adventure to know and work with Betsy and Russ. She ran a tight ship! Taught us a lot. We will always have fond memories and are grateful for the opportunities she and Russ provided. May our Lord grant you peace and comfort and may memories of happy, healthier times bring many smiles. In Christ's Love, Charles and Donna Judy

We send our heartfelt sympathy. It was always a pleasure to visit with Betsy at the Davis Christmas parties .

Dear Lew, Steve, Jennifer & Ben: Betsy and Russ and your family were such a special part of my childhood in Radford... from holidays and fun times to tough times, too. Betsy always kept everyone in line and I was inspired by her artistry and quick wit. I will miss her checking in on me and all my crew in Radford by text. So glad we got to visit her recently to get one last hug, a laugh and hear her call me "Debs" one last time. With love and sympathy,

Betsy and I grew up in the same farming community in Franklin County and attended our school days together until graduation at Franklin County High. Sending deepest sympathy to each member of her family.

So sad to hear of Betsy's passing; praying for her children & family members. She was a wonderful friend many years ago in Franklin County & Radford.
