Grandma Betty always had paper and drawing utensils out for the grandchildren to use. She encouraged creativity and expressed her artistic ability on several mediums. Grandma Betty was a generous person and there is something beautiful and heartfelt she painted in almost every room of our home. Her favorite bird was the cardinal. She valued and cherished her family, there through thick and thin, bringing people together to celebrate birthdays, holidays, and achievements. She was always there on special days like graduations and weddings. Grandma Betty’s love and devotion to her family and living her life to the fullest will always inspire me for the rest of mine. I see and feel her influence every time I love my children as well as when I pick up a paint brush. We are grateful for your wisdom and love. Thank you Grandma Betty. We will always love you and treasure every memory.
