Betty Jo Allen

Betty was a caring person to work with for 18 years,always kind, thoughful and pleasant. We have stayed in touch for the 13 years that I have been retired. We will really miss her.

We will all miss Betty and the way that she cared for her patients. Sincerely,

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,

I was fortunate to be a patient on 6 MAIN. Iknow thecare an attention Betty gave her patiens.She was a small angel that everyone loved.I take comfort knowing shes in a better place full of flowers.

I worked with Betty for most of her 45 years of service at Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital. She, indeed, was a caring and excellent orthopedic nurse, always having a smile on her face. Her patients will surely miss her. The nursing profession has lost one of the last "patients come first" advocates.
My sympathies to the family.

To the family of Betty Allen,

My condolences for the lost of a wonderful lady. Im a rehab aide that worked with Betty on 9 west. She was a wonderful, caring person and will be greatly missed. She is the most courageous woman I know. God Bless
