I remember Betty from her days in the 932 AW Serices Section. She was so great to work with, and be around. A free spirit and always giving at the same time. I know I speak for everyone the was and still is with the 932nd, that she will be greatly missed.

We remember Betty's smile and wit. She had her own way of expression with never a lost for words. Eventhough we have not had the previledge of seeing her often these past many years, she will be missed. May God comfort and bless the other family members.
