Arleigh, Cindy and Brad..I am so sorry to hear about Betty. I have many great memories of growing up and hanging out at the Staley house. When we were little I would go there on Saturday morns. Cause Betty made the BEST FRIED EGG SANDWICHES. Betty always supported us in our athletics too. She was always so kind to all of us . BUT..... was NEVER afraid to chew us out when we had it coming. She is one of the very few people that still called me ''Jimmy'' and I didn't mind one bit . Betty was Wonderful lady. My condolences to all of you.

Betty was person I always look forward to hearing from or seeing. Her blunt honesty and wit showed
a real person who cared deeply about the ones she loved. If she thought your were on the wrong track on something in life she would keep on you until you got it straight. I love you Betty and God has a special place for a character like you. God and heaven will have lots of fun with you there.
God Bless you and your family.
