Mrs. Gault was my eighth grade teacher at Bryant Middle School in 1986, and she had a profound effect on me, my education and my character. I’m so happy that I had her influence in my life, and my condolences go to her family and friends.

What a great lady! I knew Betty as a colleague while teaching at Bryant. She was always so warm and had a smile for everyone. Betty, I will see you in the Rapture!

Dear Gault Family,
Mrs. Gault was my History teacher when I was in the 8th grade. That was the first year I attended Bryant (Jr. High then). She was a wonderful teacher and I'll always remember her. Best wishes and prayers...

Dear Family,
I just met Betty in 2005 and I was shocked to hear of her passing. She was the most vibrant and "alive" person I ever met. She was also a great dancer and enjoyed it so much. We hadn't been in touch lately so I didn't know she was sick. My heartfelt condolences to all of you.
Her friend,
Joan

I had the privilege of being both a student and a co-worker with Mrs. Betty Gault. She was my fourth grade teacher at Bryant Elementary and later a co-worker of mine at Bryant Jr. High after I became a teacher. She brightened everyone's day she came in contact with and will be greatly missed. My prayers go out to her family.

Mrs. Gault was my 4th grade teacher! I am a teacher now and I ran into her on a field trip a few years back. We both recognized each other and spent the day catching up and talking. I enjoyed that day so much. She was a great influence in my life and will always be in my heart! May God bless her family and friends!

I feel blessed to have known Betty. We taught together and I don't think she knew just how much she taught me. We laughed and cried together and I smile when I remember stories I still tell about our teaming days in seventh grade. She was an inspiring lady with a zest for life and never seemed afraid of a challenge. She loved her family so deeply. I will remember just how proud she was of beautiful Amy when she came to middle school. Betty glowed whenever Amy was around. Betty was, above all, always a lady and my life was richer for having known her. My prayers go out to all of her family.

I have just heard about Betty's death and can't get her off my mind. When I first started teaching at Bryant I don't think I could have made it had it not been for Betty. She was such a knowledgeable person on many subjects especially American History. I will be remembering the family especially Amy and Zeke. She loved you both so much and often talked to me about you.

I remember having her as a teacher and also seeing her walk the halls laughing and carrying on brightening everyone around her! Remember that as you hold her close this holiday season, she will be one to cherish and pass on memories to your own...try not to dwell on what could have but speak of the incredible life she led and the many lives she touched. God bless you all.

Mrs. Gault was one of the finest teachers I've ever had. Lessons I learned from her, I cherished enough to pass along to my daughter. She was the master of geography and young minds!

Debbie, sonny, Timmy, uncle Ivan, and Uncle David, we will all have special memories of Aunt Betty and being at her and Uncle Zeke's Christmas Eve. I don't remember ever getting to sit at the grown ups' table, though! I wish I could be there with all of you, but I am in Phoenix helping Devan with the newest member of our family, Olivia. My prayers are with all of you during this time, but I sit here and smile as I think of the greeting she received from Uncle Zeke's and Momma. Love you all, Carol

Sonny,Debbie,& Timmy,
Betty was a wonderful lady. I will miss our telephone conversations. She was so sweet to me when I had my accident. She was one of my first friends I made when Mike and I moved to Haskell. I know how it is to loose your parents, especially your mother. It will be 3 years January 31 that my mom died of the same terrible disease CANCER. She is in a better place with a heavenly body and no more pain. I will miss her so much! You are in my prayers. Just remember John 3:16.

We bought our "dream"- a condo on Lake Hamilton-from your mom in 2002. We were so fortunate to have met her. She was a vibrant fun-loving smart woman. And she was so young looking for her age! (She'd love hearing that!) I know you'll miss her. May she rest in peace with God.
