Betty loved people and never met a stranger. She was an amazing cook and loved to cook for people with some of her favorites being ham, mashed potatoes made with three sticks of butter, baked beans and oyster soup.

Betty was well known for being a school bus driver for many years. She loved her students and they loved her. She started her day early, parking the bus and spending time in prayer for her day and for her students. She was Godly lady with great faith. Above all that she loved in this life, nothing compared to her love for Jesus Christ. She was never shy about testifying and wanted everyone to know her God and have a relationship with him.
