Betty will be missed by all her friends at Faith Lutheran Church
Beulah, may all the memories of Betty give you peace and comfort. She will be dearly missed.
You will be missed, Betty. Thank you for being a loving, hard working, and strong step mom and wife to my dad. God is taking good care of my dad and I know he will take good care of you too. Love you, Elaine
She was a good neighbor and will be missed by all who knew her.
She was a sweet and caring servant to Christ and His body, the Church, an avid student of the Bible, a faithful wife and mother. She will be missed by us, but now she enjoys that which had ever been her hope, life eternal with her Savior and redeemer. Let us also rejoice in Christ's resurrection victory! "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Blessed indeed,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!” Rev. 14:13
So sorry for the loss of Betty. She was a very sweet and caring person.
