I have known Betty since the early 90's. I affectionately referred to her as "Betty Boop" the Collins Office lady!

When Betty worked for Collins Office Supply, she would pop in regularly to see if our office needed any thing - always cheerful, always upbeat. It was a joy to see her come,
A great example of a life well-lived.

Betty was one of the most energetic women I have ever known! It was always fun to see her wherever we ran in to each other. Her bright and upbeat spirit was always appreciated. She was one of the people we could call "Mrs. Skagit County", because she was everywhere! Prayers for peace for Betty's family.

Rexy, Michael and Marilyn.....sending my deepest sympathy for your loss. Betty always had a smile on a face and a cheerful word to say. He empathy for others was phenomenal. I learned many things from this woman. I will always remember how was courageous she was during her cancer battles. The valley lights are a little dimmer. ❤
