Bette, from a fellow flight attendant, you have inspired us all. You can rest your wings now. Heartfelt sympathy is sent to the family.

I flew with Bette in the seventies on the Eastern Airlines shuttle from D.C. to N.Y, She was one of the most hard-working loving flight attendants I ever knew in my 33 years of flying. She was so kind and always had a smile for everyone no matter what was happening in her life or the world. She was a true woman of faith and a blessing in our lives. We love Bette and will be further blessed as she prays for us from above. Frannie Vantoch

Bette was an American Airlines rock star. She knew her regulars, straightened our ties and encouraged our careers - and she always was smiling. Bette was family.
