Betty (Bet-Bet) was our son, Aaron's, first babysitter. That was almost 50 years ago. We still have very fond memories of Betty & Tom. They were very nice and loving people. Their grandson, Roger, was Aaron's bud at the time. We pray for the family's peace and comfort as they mourn the loss of this lovely lady.

I had the joy of attending Southwest Assembly of God with Ms.Betty's daughter's Cindy, Debra, Susan and their family for many years. A few years ago my husband and I started attending Wellington Assembly and I met Ms. Betty for the first time. As time went by I had the privilege to not only grow to know and love her for her precious spirit but appreciate and understand how her girls became such wonderful women of God. Her Wellington family will miss her and the cards she sent to every person each time they missed church to let them know someone acknowledged their absence.
