We worked together in the kitchen and lunch rooms of Meredith and Hoover in the '70's. Betty was always cheerful, and good for a laugh. She was always good to work for and with.

We are so sorry to hear about the passing of Aunt Betty. She and Uncle Garth were my baptismal sponsors and I have lots of memories of how fun and special they were! Mark and family, may God be your comfort and peace in the days and weeks to come.
