Betty just beamed with beauty, grace and humor. I didn't know her well, but I sure enjoyed visiting with her when she was in Austin visiting Susie, my dear, precious forever-friend. I also loved being her Facebook friend and being a part of her life. Praying for her family and friends who will miss her greatly.

MRS BOOGAERTS WAS A CUSTOMER OF MINE FOR SEVERAL YEARS @ MOFFITT MAZDA. SHE WAS THE SWEETEST CUSTOMER. I LOVED WHEN SHE CAME IN TO GET HER MAZDA SERVICED. WE ALWAYS ENJOYED CHATTING WITH EACH OTHER. SHE REMINDED ME OF MY OWN LATE GRANDMOTHER IN MANY WAYS. MY THOUGHTS & PRAYERS ARE WITH HER AND HER FAMILY. SHE WILL TRUELY BE MISSED.

I only met Ms. Betty a few years ago, but I'm glad I had a chance to do so, even for such a brief time. She was a lovely lady. To her family: May God comfort all of you during this difficult time.

I met Mrs. Betty once just a few years ago. It was obvious to me that that she was such a kind and sweet Lady. How blessed you all were to have such a sweetheart as your Mom!

Please accept my deepest condolences. I worked with Betty years ago at the Catholic Diocese of Northwest Louisiana. She was one of the sweetest ladies I have ever met. May she rest in peace with our Lord and Savior.

Betty you were always listening for all your children no matter the call. Rest in peace, Amen.
