    We were extremely sorry to learn of Betty's passing. We truly enjoyed their annual trips to PA to reunite with famiy and friends. We loved sharing a meal, reminiscing about old times and catching up on current events with Betty and her sister, Mary. Years ago,their mother would also accompany them before she passed away. Betty will be sorely missed. May she rest in eternal peace! Keeping Mary, her husband and daughters in our thoughts and prayers. Wishing her family comfort and peace to face the days ahead and loving memories to hold in your hearts. God Bless!

    Betty & I went to school together beginning at North School and all the way to Jonesboro High School. Over the years we lost touch as so many friends do as life goes along. I saw Betty for the first time since school at one of our JHS luncheons several years ago. Scott Abel recently told me about Betty’s passing as I reached out to him on Facebook concerning some videos he made about our class. I remember Mary, her little sister. My heartfelt thoughts and prayers are for all of Betty’s family. So sad to learn of another classmates passing. RIP Betty.

    Ms. Betty was extremely helpful to me at work. AMMC never really knew her talent in Histology. She came out of retirement to help. She was such a lovely lady and a pleasure to work with. My love and prayers for her precious family. She will be greatly missed. Rest in Peace dear friend.

    Gary, Amber, Matt and Keiley Blair so sorry for your loss. Betty was a very lovely, lady that I had the fortunate to know as a very dear friend. I remember when I first meant her is when we meant to start our first discipline group. She was such an inspiration to me. My thoughts and prayers are with you all for God's peace and comfort.
