Betty was an authentic and caring woman. She and my mom, Gloria, were friends for many years after meeting as neighbors on Panama Ct. It was a privilege to have known her; she was a role model to me. I admired her inner strength and resiliency; she never felt sorry for herself. "Gentle warrior" comes to mind, as she gracefully maneuvered through her health challenges. My heart is filled with gratitude for having known her. God bless her, and blessings to Betty's family as well.

Betty was one of my favorite people to have cared for. She was pleasant, upbeat, kind and a pleasure to know. May she rest in peace now as she has fought a long battle. Love you, Betty.
