Harry and family: We nt all through school together and will always remember your mother as she sang at our wedding 58 years ago dec.17. Cherish all the good memories and know your in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. R.I.P. Betty
Remember Betty mainly from when she was married and had two boys. She was my fathers only Brother’s daughter. Her two boys were my sister’s and my age so we grew up with them visiting us on the farm. She will be missed by all her family. Our condolences to you Harry and Judy and your families.
Harry and family: It is difficult for me to find the words to express the love and gratitude and appreciation I feel for your mother. She is one of those people who helped make Taylorville a very special place for me to grow up…and you and Lanny and your dad were all products of her love. I never made one trip to Taylorville without stopping to see her and I called her every year for several years. We were blessed to have her and we will miss her very much.
Harry, your mother was the spark plug on our senior center trips. She will be missed for a long time because of her smile, her enthusiasm, and her ability to enjoy herself. I am sorry for your loss. Tom (retired driver) Halbrook
Harry and family: Your mom will always be remembered for her kindness and support for everyone in our class of 1960. We all felt welcomed to your home and were lifted by her joyfulness and enthusiasm. She will always be fondly remembered. My deepest sympathy for your loss.
