Betty will be remembered as mom, grandma, granny, sister, neighbor and friend by many. She loved cooking for her family and baking for her boys.

She quilted, gardened, and never met a book she did not enjoy reading. She loved Hallmark movies, but her greatest love was the St Louis Cardinals. She was a great advisor whether you wanted her opinion or not! One plaque in her kitchen read, “The older I get, the better I was”. Betty will be remembered by many whose lives she touched.
