I'll never forget the wonderful music she provided for the Ohio Eastern Star Chorus - I doubt that anyone realizes how much more work the accompanist puts in than the singers.

I have fond memories of her (trying) to teach me piano. She was always patient and kind.

There are simply not enough words to describe our love for Betty. She was a mentor and a friend. She will be greatly missed by everyone whose lives she touch with her music and her caring personality.
