Betty held family closest to her heart and made anyone she encountered immediately feel loved, often known as “Mom” or “Aunt Betty” to many.  She enjoyed spending time with family and friends, tending her gardens, and being crafty in so many areas. She took pride in being the minister’s wife to her late husband, who was a minister for the Church of Christ. The center of Betty’s life was loving God and serving him. That love for God spilled into every aspect of her life. Betty could light up a room with her infectious smile wherever she went and will be remembered for her ability to love with her whole heart, touching the lives of many.
