A dear friend from high school days. Bette and I spent much time together listening to music, sharing our innermost dreams and secrets. Bette was a very special friend, very caring and nurturing. I will always keep her in my thoughts and heart. Heaven will be blessed to have her.

My deepest condolences to my cousin, Bette Ann. I have fond memories of our early childhood together with the cousins at Grandma's house in Oneonta. They never faded with the years and miles that separated us. Janet Kerley

Bette was such a lovely, warm, and special person. She had a certain quiet grace about her that was so inviting and comforting. I know she was very loved. She will be greatly missed. I'm so grateful to have known her. Sending love and prayers to her and her entire family but especially Tracey and Joe who shared their lives with her. May she be at peace.
