I have many fond memories of Betty Lou thanks to Marilyn. I know that she will greatly be missed by all. During this challenging time, may you remember her smile, her love for you, and all the fond memories. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I grew up with Betty, she was always a kind and sweet person. When i was living in the "co-op" I used to help her with chores and things around the house...and i remember her always giving me "wethers" candies..We used to visit with her all the time and sit and chit chat with her and i used to play with Groucho and then the newer addition Charlie. I really will miss her. She was a very strong and great person.
