Throughout her life, Betty found joy in her work as a secretary for the state of Florida. Betty was a proud member of the Avon Park and Sebring communities since 2003, having returned from Kansas. She was a woman of faith, belonging to the Methodist church.
Betty's hobbies and interests were a reflection of her warm and nurturing spirit. She was an avid reader, a skillful cook, and took great pleasure in working in her yard, surrounded by the beauty of nature. Her gentle and caring nature touched the lives of all who knew her. Betty was known as the kindest person you would ever meet.
Betty Louise Ormond will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her legacy of love, kindness, and compassion will live on in the hearts of those she touched. May she rest in peace, reunited with her loved ones in the arms of the divine.

To the Family of Betty L. Ormond, I had the pleasure of knowing Betty while employed with the State of Florida (APCI). Betty had one of the kindest, friendliest and caring dispositions of anyone I’ve ever met. She never had anything negative to say about anyone - always a pleasant joyful spirit. Surely, she is in a place where she deserves to be, at ‘Home’ with the Lord Jesus Christ.
