My condolences to the family during this sad time. (Psalm 18:2) ~ Nicky

Betty passed into the next life as she lived here, with dignity. Betty was selfless, always concerned with the comfort of others. Even in her final days, she was concerned that meeting her needs would be an inconvenience to others.
Another friend and I for the last few years visited her almost weekly for uplifting conversation and a game of Scrabble, in which Betty would play the most interesting, frequently obsolete, words played by any of my Scrabble opponents. She was most often correct in any word-challenge made by her or to her.
No matter how ill she felt, Betty was the consummate hostess, always greeting us with a smile and providing delicious refreshments.
Betty was an independent thinker and individualist. Even during her failing health, she strove to take care of her own needs, wanting as much as possible to remain independent but graciously accepting the help her family and friends offered.
I will miss Betty's stories, her wit, her example of bearing trials with patience and dignity, her example of treating others with dignity and concern for their comfort, and our regular games of Scrabble; but most of all I will miss our friendship.

Many times Betty came to my Sunday School class and brightened it with her cheerful countenance. I am sure she will be missed by many.
