    So sorry to hear of Bettys passing. I have known Betty for at least 20 years because of Linda. I coached bowling and Linda was there every week and I quite often talked with Betty throughout the season. What a wonderful lady she was after she moved into Goderich Place we had a lot of visits and chats. As her health declined I would see less of her but she still came to entertainment as often as she could. She made sure I met “her girls” when you came to visit. What a beautiful Angel god has in his garden now! RIP Betty you have earned your wings. Connie Tasker

    So sorry Skip, Darlene, Sherry, and Linda
    and famliy to hear of Betty’s passing. Many fond memories of good old Saltford days, the store and swimming in the pool. As an adult I would often see her and have a chat when she shopped at Zehrs. My condolences.

    You were my Mom, my best friend and my hero. You were there my whole life and it was fitting I be there for you to the very end of your journey in this life time. It’s bitter sweet, because I will miss you dearly every day, but I know that you are with Dad again after 30 years. I was blessed with two wonderful parents, who will now be together for eternity. I am at peace with that knowledge. LOVE YOU BOTH FOR ETERNITY! XO

    Our sincere condolences to all the family at this very sad time. Betty was a second Mom to me and our children referred to her as Great Grandma. She was such a kind hearted sole. She was so sweet and loved life, when I visited her, we had such wonderful conversations. She will be missed by everyone that new her. I will treasure the wonderful memories I have of her.
