Betty Guess Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Betty loved singing "Handel's Messiah" with the Carrollton United Methodist choir and the "The Lord's Prayer". She sang for years at the Algonquin Mill festival, loved reading all types of books and attended Antioch, Church in the Countryside YMCA in Lebanon. Betty was an avid hot rum card player and talked fondly of her life in Carrollton. She moved to Lebanon, Ohio in 2008 to be closer to all her daughters.
Betty left us this poem:
"I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times & laughing times & bright & sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve to dry before the sun,
of happy memories that I leave when this life is done."
A private graveside service, followed by burial will be held in the Westview Cemetery in Carrollton on Saturday, August 13 with Pastor Mark Statler and Jensen Harper officiating. After the burial, friends are invited to gather at the Carrollton United Methodist Church to offer condolences from 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you offer a lasting memorial with https://support.woundedwarriorproject.org/ or https://www.ohiolife.org/donate.

We were good friends in the old days. Mac was best man at our wedding. My sympathy to her family.
I am still a survivor at age 95.
