Our love to all of the family. Losing a loved one is so difficult but I always think about how blessed I am to have had such amazing people in my life. All we can think of is how bubbly and caring Betty always was. It brings a smile through the tears and we pray all the family can feel that as well. We know how much she will be missed and we hope it helps to know how much we care for you.
with love,

I first met Betty and Emory Cate in 2003 at an Elvis event. My husband Guy met her at the bank many years before... hes thinking sometime in the 80s? Betty was the sweetest most complementary woman. She always had a kind word. We have many memories over the last 16 years including Elvis shows, parties, and trips. Betty loved her Jeremy "Elvis" Pearce. She was always pretty in pink It will be hard to not see her sweet face at the shows. RIP sweet beautiful Betty.
