We will miss you Aunt Betty, you will be missed by so many that you touched. You had a way to get people to talk and smile. We will miss you and love you and keep you close to our hearts.

Sending love and prayers to the Bonnell family this day. I remember fondly the "neighborhood" days on Oxford St and North St when the families would gather. I recall walking out of school sometimes with Nick and Amy when we all went to Evening St. Your family was well respected and Betty continued to be an inspiration of living a full life! May God be a comfort to each of you in the days ahead. So sorry I cannot join you today, as I will be at work.

Among the stories told my my dad, Tom F. Lewis, were those about your mom and dad and the dear friendship they shared. Betty always had a warm smile for us when we had the brief opportunities to visit. She was a wonder and we know you have beautiful memories. She was special. Carol and Phil Giessler

To all George and Betty's children, you were truly blessed to have your mother with you for so many years. She was, indeed, a special woman as was the whole Bonnell family. You guys were like the corner stone of Worthington. She will be missed.
