Dear Doug & family: We were so saddened to read about Betty's passing. We first met in the 80's when we worked with Betty on our first home purchased in Maumelle and you and Todd worked on getting it into the shape we wanted. We fondly recall the many times we witnessed the two of you "tripping the light fantastic". You so enjoyed dancing together! Our hearts go out to the Coney family and pray you find peace thru the wonderful memories she has given you. God Bless!
Doug,
Sorry to hear about Betty. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
As the years go we keep such great memories of those we have known and respected from "way back". We send our prayers and thoughts for the family and know Betty was such strength to all of you.
Love ...Dorothy and Howard
I had the sincere pleasure of working with Betty and her customers. Betty was the consummate real estate agent, knowledgeable, compassionate and a "stickler" for details! God has another angel. I pray that Doug and her family can take comfort in the many memories that you share. Rest in peace sweet lady.
Dear Doug, I was so sorry to hear that Betty has passed away. Eugene has always kept us all informed of health problems with each of us in our little group of friends. I was praying so much that Betty would recover. Keep close to your family and loved ones and know that all of your long time friends are thinking of you and praying for you.
With warm thoughts and prayers,

Dear Doug and family, we are saddened by Betty's passing and wish you to know our prayers are with you in your time of sorrow. We both remember Betty's sense of humor, her cheerfulness, and her devotion to you doug and family. We lived in Maumelle three times, Betty sold us our house on Traveler Lane and helped us sell when we moved to Arizona. Doug, I think of you often and the times we had on the MFD. Please be comforted by the thought that her suffering is over and she is in a good place waiting for you.

Doug & Family, We were so saddened when we heard of Betty's passing. May GOD Bless and comfort you and your Family at this time. We love you my friend.
I'm thinking of you all in the loss of your love one .Prayers for your family .
Like a lot of people who signed this Guestbook...we go a long way back to High School with these wonderful people. A wonderful life, a long and happy marriage, a big and loving family, and legions of friends, are a wonderful legacy. But that alone cannot dull the pain and hurt of this loss. Only God, time, and memories can begin to do that . Thankfully you have all of those, and the thoughts and prayers of more people than you can count. All our love......
Betty will be so missed. She was a very knowledgeable professional as well as a friend who was always ready to share a good laugh. She was uniquely and beautifully Betty. You are in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this time of great sorrow. God bless all of you.
Doug (and family) Bill and I are so sorry. I know that she will really be missed, not only by family but by many friends. You will be in our prayers. May God give you peace and comfort for the upcoming days.

Dear Doug & Family,
I was so saddened to read about Betty. She and you both Doug, were always so helpful and kind to our parents, Barbara and Bill Wilder, both who we lost not too long ago. I read Paige's memory to her Mom and it brought heavy tears to my eyes, for I know exactly how she feels. Know in your hearts that she is in no more discomfort and dancing in the Halls of Heaven!

Betty was one of kind and I will miss her so much. Her smile could light up a room, and she was a very wise and strong woman. It hurts to know she will no longer be a piece of my life. She was a wonderful wife, mother and friend and may she be at peace now. My thoughts are with those she left behind .
I am so sorry for your loss. I am grateful that you were able to bring Betty home and be together in her final days. Your friends are here for you in your time of sorrow. Praying for peace and comfort.

To the Coney Family-
I am very sorry to learn of Betty's passing. My most fond memories of Betty and Doug and so many others were at the Rosedale Optimist Club dancing every Friday and Saturday night and Lake Nixon on Sunday. So long ago but what a time we had growing up in the 50's.
I know Betty will be dearly missed by her family and friends.
Robert Latta

Paige - so sorry for your loss. Remember the good times you had. From experience 21 years ago, it is tough and it gets easier but you will never forget your mother. Praying for you and your family. She will out there with mom, she is buried at Riverwood Memorial Gardens. Prayers and thoughts.
You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers!
Betty and I practically grew up together in the real estate business. She was a "seasoned" agent all of 6 months when I got my license. My husband would often remark on how organized Betty was and say I'd never come close to her skills. You know what? He was right! She was a consummate professional. Even though she was petite in size, there wasn't anyone who didn't look up to her. Oh, Betty, you will be missed! But I expect I'll still be calling on you if I ever need advice. And I just know you'll be there as always with an open door and heart.
I am truly sorry for your loss. Betty will be very much missed. I have you all in my thoughts and prayers..
Paige,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families.
God bless!
My deepest condolences!
