We send our condolences, Jeff & Yvette
So sorry to hear of your loss. I worked at Albertsons on Lee for 18 years and I’ve gotta say, Earl and Betty were two of the sweetest people. Always greeted you with a smile and a friendly hello. Just good people. My condolences go out to all of her family.
So saddened to hear of Betty’s passing. We met her through my David’s grandfather, Sam Meacham. We took her produce through the summer, and always enjoyed our visits! She always cracked me up saying ” oh, not to bad for an Old heifer!” Will never forget her sweet smile and her gracious ways.
I’ve known Betty and Earl since as long as my memory takes me. She and Earl were, what I considered, best friends with my folks and also charter members of Richland Heights Baptist along with my parents. Betty was the sweetest person, besides my Mother, that has ever crossed my 74 yr path. My prayers go out to Bob, John and Mark at this time and always remember- ya’ll had the greatest mom and dad that God ever made
I knew Betty when I worked at Richland High school. She was the sweetest, kindest lady ever, always had a smile and so helpful. Rest in peace Betty. My prayers and thoughts are with you all.
Betty, you are/were a beautiful child of God and are missed dearly.
See you later in Heaven,
Pat & Eileen Crawford
