Betty loved the Lord with all her heart and attended the Grace Gospel Church. She enjoyed playing the piano and was a skilled Hawaiian steel guitar player in her younger years. She loved to sing and could be heard singing and worshipping the Lord everywhere she went. She enjoyed her role of homemaker always tastefully decorating her home, keeping everything neat and tidy. Her children and grandchildren considered her a wonderful cook and baker. Some of her family favorites were her mac and cheese, coleslaw, various pies and her chocolate cake with peanut butter icing. Terri learned how to make Betty's excellent cinnamon roll recipe as well. Even with her skills in the kitchen, Betty still enjoyed getting out and about and going to restaurants with her son, Paul. Above all else, she will be remembered for her devotion to the Lord and the love she had for her family.
