Betty was a very kind and loving person to everyone she came in contact with whether it be family, friends, or new acquaintances.  She had a very gentle way about her as she was quick to give everyone she met a big hug and always had something nice to say.  She made everyone who entered her house feel like they were part of the family.  She also expressed her love through cooking as she was famous for her biscuits and gravy, homemade butterhorn rolls, and chocolate cake.  She was deeply rooted in her faith and love for Jesus Christ and lived a life that was a great example to everyone about how to act and how to love people well.  She will be missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing her as she truly was a bright light that made the world a better place during her time on this earth.
