Betty’s Family
I met Betty when we worked at the election polls several years ago. She was such a pleasant, kind hearted, and smart lady. I looked forward to those long days working with her. You have my deepest sympathy in your loss. She talked so proudly and passionately about her family
Anna and Family, Debbie and Family,
We are very sorry to hear about Betty Passing. Our prayers are with you and your entire family. I spent many years debating your mother working with her at Montebello Healthcare Center when it was in its prime. Betty was the backbone at Montebello no matter what we faced she was always there for people. The staff, families, patients and vendors enjoyed talking w Betty. Betty was a smart funny lady. She always had a way of winning an argument. She also made sure everyone had a paycheck at Montebello. Betty was a faithful servant of God also. Betty was also a great cook. She assisted Sherri and I w our wedding reception as she helped cook the meal for our reception at the Bott Community Center. Betty gave so much of her time w people and she believed in people. She treasured her entire family. Betty was an amazing person. May she be granted eternal rest by our lord and savior Jesus Christ. She will be remembered here in Hamilton!!!!!!!!
