I had the pleasure of knowing Mrs. Betty my entire life. Mrs. Betty exemplified kindness and humility more beautifully than any individual I know. She spent more than half a century working with my father who recently passed. I take great comfort in knowing that my father was among the many welcoming her into Heaven. Love to her biological family and love to all those whom she made to feel like family.

Elizabeth, Your mother was more than special, she was my second mother, as she was for my brother. Betty knew all our secrets, and was a great advisor, mentor, and the dearest friend. When she met someone she made them feel like a king or queen, she had that gift. She will be greatly missed and always loved by my family. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss and my true friend, Betty Woolard. Even though I had not seen her for a while, she will always remain in my heart with heart felt love. Betty was a true Christian friend that was always concerned for others. She was a great supervisor while I worked at Moss Planning Mill. She will be missed by many. May God be with the family during this great loss. Those that are Christians will one day see her again. We pray that you are.
