Betty Rose lived a remarkable life full of music, love, and adventure. She sang in many church choirs in the DFW area which boasted the attendance of cardinals and bishops. She attended a special choir class given by Roger Wagner and was invited to sing with his choral group.

She enjoyed playing the piano, singing, theatre, and watching her family's recitals, and performances. She encouraged all their endeavors and dreams.

Betty Rose traveled as much as she could given that she worked for Braniff International and later retired from American Airlines at age 84. She has been to almost all 50 states including Alaska and Hawaii, went on two African photographic safaris, several western European countries, Great Britain, kissed the Blarney Stone in Ireland, went to Saint Petersburg, Russia, took a cruise with friends to South America, and her last major trips was with her daughter Carolyn to the Panama Canal.

Truly a remarkable life. Service will be held at her local church St. Michael's in Calhan, Colorado.
