She liked to share her knowledge of her products with the Wal Mart customers Betty was a very hard worker, a trait she learned from her parents. She enjoyed keeping her home neat and tidy. For those who knew her best, Betty could be described as “feisty”. Betty loved ice cream but enjoyed it much more in the company of her grandchildren, it seemed to taste better when sitting next to children. She never met a piece of chocolate that she did not like and at time was known to hide a few pieces for later. Her home was her haven, she invited folks over to share holidays and enjoyed being in their presence. She decorated her home with such care and her Christmas Trees were to be admired. It had been said that Betty had such style and class, she accepted those compliments with humility. Betty was a good daughter, sister, wife, mom, grandma, great grandma, and great-great grandma she loved with her entire being. Her family gave her such great joy and pride.
