10 Sep 2020My deepest condolences to the family. I worked with Betty at the Housing Authority and I enjoyed her so much she always decorated the office for the holidays and put on the potlucks and was so friendly at the front desk with all of the clients. She did our taxes for us for many years and we intern helped her and Grant with their yardwork when they needed help. We were so sad to hear of her passing and just want the family to know that she will be truly missed. I can still see her wonderful smile in my mind and hear her awesome laugh too. We are truly grateful to have known her and will cherish the memories that we have of her always, may she Rest In Peace.
