Dear Sullivan Family, I am so sorry for your loss. Betty was such a sweetheart, what a wonderfully kind woman. She was one of my husband's "work moms" who always took care of everybody. She will be greatly missed by all.

Dear Betty Ann was kind and sweet and lovely... and loving. She was the embodiment of strong and gentle in one little package. She loved "doing" for her family and bringing her famous mashed potatoes to family dinners even as things became more difficult for her. She was beautiful inside and out and will be greatly missed. My heart is with the whole family...

I am so very sorry for the loss of your Mom, Max, Thomas, Alyssa, Tiana and Derek and the whole family. Your Mom was such a sweet person, soft spoken and kind and I knew she was always there for you all. I'm praying that the Lord will wrap his arms around you all and lift you up during this difficult time. Mom's are our first cheerleader, loving and guiding us and leading us all the way....no one can replace our Moms. Sending love. Faith

I have known Betty for close to 60 years. We were high school friends. Lately we have been meeting every month with a group from our class in high school. It was such a great joy to be connecting with Betty again. She was a dear, dear friend- ever faithful, ever loyal. I don't believe we ever had a disagreement because she was so peace loving and so kind,. I am so saddened by her death and I will miss her greatly. To her son and daughter, I offer my condolences and my prayers. She loved you and families so, so much. sincerely, Sister Vicki DeSante

Sending prayers to the Sullivan family.
I worked with Ms. Betty at Quest for a couple of years and she was honestly one of the sweetest, kindest woman I've had the pleasure of meeting. She always went out of her way to say hello pretty much everyday and strike up a conversation which is pretty hard to get me to talk but I enjoyed talking to her. She was always so cheerful especially counting down the days to her retirement. She will definitely be missed.

My mom was the strongest, most kind hearted and loving mom anyone could ask for. She was there when I took my first breath and I was there when she took her last. May you be free of all your pain and be dancing like no one is watching. Oh how you will be missed!
Love,
Your Daughter
