Growing up and going to school with Betty (many years ago!), she was a special friend. We shared many meals at her home on Sundays after church. Mrs. Scott always welcomed us (and others). Many fond memories of a great friend. With sincere sympathy to the family, Jean (Bell) Lawrence

Aunt Betty was one of my favorites! She came to visit my mama (her sister-in-law, Patsy Pool Burnham) the summer of 2006. My daughter Caitlyn and I had the best time visiting with her! Caitlyn was going in the sixth grade and loved learning how to make a chocolate-pecan pie with Aunt Betty. She was a fun-loving and sweet Aunt who always made you feel special. I know she is already walking the streets of gold with Uncle Norris. Love and prayers to your family as you will miss her here on earth.
