Our thoughts, love and prayers are with you. Betty was an amazing woman, adventurous, kind, generous, loving, compassionate, creative and fun. We will cherish all the wonderful memories of our travels together, parties at OCB, dining at Gus's Diner, HyVee and Nitty Gritty. She loved to go Cemetery hopping, packing the car full of donations of school supplies and viewing the Christmas Lights. As friends, we all benefited immensely from her prolific knitting, wonderful pies and Christmas cookies! Betty was always there with an encouraging word and helping hand. Until we meet again, Precious Friend, we will hold you in our hearts and memories.
