In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

I always loved getting birthday cards from her every year. Such a sweet lady!

Mrs. Christie was my sewing teacher at Trexler in the mid-1970s. I even took her sewing class as an extra elective, I enjoyed her class so much. The sewing skills I have today are due to her. Condolences to Mrs. Christie's family.

So sorry we are out of town and cannot make services. Her legacy lives on in the wonderful children and grandchildren and great grandchildren that follow her example!

We were all blessed to have Betty in our lives. A "true-blue" friend of my Mother, Dot Petro. She extended that friendship with our entire family. I will cherish all the "hand-written" letters, notes, and cards we shared over the past 25 years, following my mother's passing. What a beautiful person and what a full and perfect life. We will miss her, but are comforted in knowing she has gone straight to heaven and is reunited with the love of her life and all of her "true-blue" friends. ...

I am so sorry to hear the sad news about Betty, as I have fond memories of our visits to your family home very many years ago. I am glad we got my mother and Betty together for a visit more recently, but am sad that the current pandemic kept them apart for another visit this year. Sadly, for the same reason, we will be unable to attend the visitation, but will certainly have all of you in our thoughts and prayers during this sad time. Rest in peace, Betty, and blessings to all her family.

What a full life Betty Jane led, contributing to our community in many ways. Many of us knew her through her involvement with Cedar Crest. She was a loyal and supportive alum whose love for the college showed in her face at every event. Her love for her family was also evident to all who conversed with her. Her life is one to celebrate. She will be missed, but her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren will carry on. That is the way they were raised. May their grief be gentle.

My thoughts and prayers for her family at this time.I unfortunately I never met this wonderful lady that was such an inspiration to to so many who knew her.. may she Rest In Peace now that she is united with her loving husband.

Sending prayers to the Christie family during this difficult time. I have many memories of your Mother, such a beautiful lady.
