Aunt Betty always had a special place in my heart. I will certainly miss her, and fondly remember how much fun my Mom and Aunt Betty had when they were together.

Jay, I was sad to hear of Betty's passing. You were two of my first patients here. I enjoyed seeing you together and working on community fund raisers with you. I hope you are well; you recall she always worried more about you than herself! Lee

Dear Jay,
Betty and I became friends through church and as sometimes golfing partners at the Bloomington Country Club. I called her "steady Betty" because of her consistent and straight up the fairway approach to golf. We especially enjoyed the par 3 #7 hole knowing you were watching from the house. Betty was a joy to know and a wonderful person. She will be sadly missed by all who knew her. You are in our prayers.
Marcia and Dick McCracken.

I played golf with Betty at Bloomington Country Club where she belonged to the Ladies Golf group. Betty was a gracious competitor and she truly loved to play golf. I am sorry and sincerely miss her as a friend.
