Betty and I were in the same class (St. Christina's, '58), and often in the same room. I have many fond memories of this pretty, fun, red-headed girl - at football games, at the piano in her parents' home, at her Mom's dining room table making "Hawaiian leis" from crepe paper for a parish luau. Condolences to all who mourn her. She was always a delight.

Betty and I were friends at Longwood class of 62... Although I haven’t seen her for years,I know we could pick up if we met and talk about the years we spent together at Longwood. Betty always had a beautiful smile and laugh. So sorry for your loss.. Karen Lyons Lucid

I know Kristen Devine and her husband Michael. They are splendid and have been a blessing in my life. By extension I know Betty to have been a bright light for all who knew her. My prayers go out to her family in their time of loss.
