This is a lovely tribute to Betty. My profound condolences to her family
And loved one’s.
Your mom was a beautiful person inside and out! Of all my patients at Dr Mannhard’s office, she was one that I always looked forward to seeing! May her legacy live on through all of you!
Eternal rest grant unto her, o Lord; and let perpetual light shine upon her!
I have so many memories of time spent together, particularly as children. She always was so warm and happy whenever I saw her. I will miss her at family functions. May God help her family through this hard time.

Brigid and family, I am sorry to hear this. It has been a long time, but I remember your mom at every single softball game we had. She was always so nice and caring. It was a pleasure to know her. You and your family are in my thoughts.
Brigid, Don & family~My deepest condolences to you all. As a Nonna, like Betty would have probably done, I spent the day today, with my 2 grandsons at their Christmas parties at school. I missed paying my last respects. Rest peacefully Betty❤️
I have so many fond memories of our days at Fontbonne. She was definitely someone I admired! I still remember the smile on her face soon after meeting Don, who I believe managed The Salad Bowl in Clayton. You were a bright light Betty. We’ll just have look up to the skies to see you. 💫💥
