Betty was a devoted wife to Jimmy, a loving mother to six wonderful children, a doting grandmother to 18 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren, and a loyal friend. I have been fortunate to have her as my best friend since our school days. I will miss her every day and think of all the good times we shared.
