I knew Betty in high school. We hung out together in our junior year. Betty was so much fun. Her laugh was contagious. I'm so sorry to hear of her passing. My prayers go out to her family.

What a great lady Betty was. We had several laughs together at work. We often joked, am I Bettys supervisor or is Betty supervising me? She will be missed. Thoughts and prayers.

I worked with Betty as a fellow supervisor at ADP for several years. She always had a ready and distinctive laugh that could be heard by all. She could light up a room just by being there.
