“Grandma” Betty or “Aunt” Betty loved her family and extended family and friends.  She loved shopping and spending time with her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.  Many Sunday afternoons were spent fishing on her pier and she liked to joke that she wasn’t a fisherman, she was a “catcher”.  Betty had a quick wit and a great sense of humor.

Betty was a member of Elizabethtown Baptist Church from 1958 until her death.  She sang in the choir and served in many different capacities over the years.  She loved her friends and church family, especially the ladies of the Miriam Clark Sunday School Class.
