Betty had a wonderful sense of humor and a girlish giggle when she thought she got something over on someone. Her eyes twinkled so bright when she was happy. I miss her presence. I wish her and her family Peace.
Betty has been missed at Steven’s Residence. Our many condolences from everyone at Steven’s.
This is my grandma and i love her. She tried her best in everyway in life. She wanted the best for everyone. She deeply loved her family and was always a caring and wonderful person to be with. God is surely keeping her close in heaven.
