My mother used to read "Betsy Buttons" to my siblings and me. It was one of my favorite books. Best wishes to her loved ones and family.

I was very saddened to hear of the passing of Erla. She was such an amazing woman and was a positive influence in my life. I grew up just down the road from her in Midway and enjoyed her loving and kind ways. She was such a positive and generous person...I will always treasure the Betsy Buttons doll she gave me as a child and will pass the stories and doll along to my children when the time comes. She will truly be missed.
