Too many memories to share, from childhood to adulthood, to list. We grew up together, in the same neighborhood, and went to the same high school. She was always like a sister to me, and always stood up for me, when I was bullied. She was one of those friends, who was "always there", regardless of any situation. Since I am an "only child", I miss her, more than anyone can imagine. See you on the "other-side", my dear old friend. Becky

When I remember Bitty it is with fond memories. Our late night talks, her southern drawl when she would say my name and raise an eyebrow, her witty, fun sense of humor. Whenever her and Wayne would come back to Nebraska she always made it a point to come visit me. She was a strong Christian woman, mentor and I am blessed to have known her. I know I will see her again.

Dear Wayne and family, I was so sad to hear about Bittys passing. We lived next door to each other growing up and we played together. We were always into something and lived in the trees, playful memories and we parted ways as we grew older going in different directions and some time passed...she was working overseas and met a fellow called Wayne in the service and married and a few years later I met a fellow while working In Fl also named Wayne. The last years we would meet Bitty and Wayne in Pigeon Forge a couple times a year and visit. I shall miss my friend so much but we know where she is...God bless you all Love, Janet and Wayne Pullen

So many wonderful memories of Bitty. As a little boy she had a hard time teaching me her name, I always wanted to call he Betty. She was a great babysitter and I always enjoyed being around her and her family. She will be missed.

I will always cherish the memories we had together grandma. Although we are all sad to see you go, I know that you are not suffering anymore and you can finally rest comfortably. You were such a kind spirited woman and you will truly be missed. It is a honor to be part of this family and I know that everyone is going to miss you greatly. Until we meet again, just know I always love you, and I will always miss you.

We will always miss you grandma, and not a day will go by without you in our prayers and in our hearts. My grandma was the most amazing woman, who showed kindness and grace in every aspect of her life. Her humor and her love created the most special memories that I will cherish forever. She will be with us always. I will love you and miss you forever Grandma Bitty.

With the deepest sympathy as I remember an amazing Mother In Law. She was always there for her kids and grandkids never once forgetting a birthday or speacial occassion. She left us all with the fondest memories and enjoyed sharing special experiences in her life when the opportunity arose. Here's to a woman who made a difference in so many lives. I'm grateful to have been a member of her family!

In loving memory of an amazing woman, wife, mother and grandmother.
My mom loved her family and was always there when we needed her, she would jump on a plane, climb in a car and travel wherever she was needed. I rarely even had to ask she just always knew. Mom enjoyed participating in many organizations, the mountains, and the wildlife in her backyard.
My Dad is an exceptional man, he was able to take care of Mom in her home to the very end, they experienced such a great love .
Mom I will miss you very much and I´ll love you always
