I worked with Betty for many years in corrections. She was my job share partner, my mentor and my friend. She made a huge difference in the lives of the men and women she worked with, and for all who knew her. She will be dearly missed. My condolences to her family.

My heart hurts at the news of the passing of this wonderful woman. Betty was such a great friend who treated people with respect and always had her office door open if you had a problem or just needed someone to vent to. You will be greatly missed by all that knew and loved you! My thoughts and prayers are sent to Betty's daughters and family. Roxanne and Gary Lindberg
