Betty Avaline Howe

Betty was a dear friend. When I moved with my family from Dolores to Cortez in the early 60's. I met Betty at "Mesa" school for the first time. Early on I didn't know how to take Betty. As our friendship grew through junior high and high school, I still didn't know how to take Betty. We got along fine but she always remained "UTE" Not close, but not distant. Somehow a very dear friend that held white folks at arm's length. Hard to explain.

I am so sorry that Betty has passed. We went to MCHS together. Lovely girl. (We were all "girls" back then.) I hope she had an easy transition. My condolences to her family and other loved ones. Dorothy Fulks

I would like to say: Thank You Betty, for being a great friend and pal to me. We had great times visiting and you showed me how to do things when I needed help.. You will always and forever be in my heart

Betty was a dear sweet lady the Lord has another angel. She will be missed

I'm sorry to hear about Betty. She still remembered me after many years and called me by name. She was a very special lady. Love and hugs to the whole family
