Smart and crafty lady, never had a bad word to say about anyone. I know she will be missed by all her children and particularly Shannon.
We are so sorry to hear this. Sending love and prayers to everyone. Gary & Annette Jarrell
Heaven has certainly gained a very special angel… She was one of the kindest, funniest, loving and most beautiful person I’ve ever met, she did make sure you had your belly full, a nice place for sleep, always smiling… made me always feel not only welcome into her home but in her family.. She was a great mom, always carting kids to activities, most importantly her kids had a very special bond knowing that she was always there to talk to them in good times as well as bad, offering them advice but loving them throughout any situation… She was the quintessential Kool-Aid mom!! She made her home a happy, loving secure place for not only her family but for their friends,…So many special memories that I hold dear in my mind and heart… You my second mom will be sorely missed… David and I as well as my family were so very sorry for the family of Betty… please know that each of you will be in our prayers as you adjust to life without her… We love you so, hopefully you will know that you are not alone…always in our hearts ♥️
Dora, thank you for your kind words. Joyce and I are very touched by them. You pretty much covered exactly who she was. She was a great mama and she loved you, too. Thank you for all your prayers. Love you sister/friend.
Like a second grandma, and the best banana pudding ever
