Mrs. Betty was a people person and said one of the most rewarding feelings was seeing the smiles on her customers’ faces when they picked up their flowers. She put her heart and soul into all her floral arrangements whether they were for a wedding, funeral, prom, Valentine’s or any other special day a person may be celebrating. She was so generous that she would take centerpieces to some of the elderly friends in town on holidays for them to enjoy. Mrs. Betty loved her fur babies. They brought her so much company and comfort. One thing she had pride in was growing cherry tomatoes and sharing them with everyone who wanted some. She was always willing and ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. She also enjoyed helping her husband Jack deliver the Moultrie Observer newspapers. She was of the Baptist faith and loved to listen to southern gospel music. Her favorite bible scripture was Psalm 91, and her favorite song was In the Garden.
