We will miss Betty so much. Although I’d not saw her in awhile I can still see her smile and hear her contagious laughter. Her beautiful daughter, Julie is a great testament of Betty’s life and how well she lived it. Many condolences to Julie & family and brother Haulie.

Haulie, Julie, and family, my deepest sympathy to each and everyone of you. Haulie I know you will certainly miss your partner of 61 years. She was so much fun to be around with her great sense of humor and just never had a bad word about anyone. Last time I got to visit with her was at Elks for our class reunion. She was a great gal, and will be missed by all. RIP Betty.
