Aunt Betty was a very classy lady who was very family oriented. I always admired her. I’ll never forget when she hosted my bridal shower at her home how elegant she made the affair by her table arrangement and decorations. She was a warm and gracious person who raised 3 loving children. From generation to generation the lessons are passed on from her. I celebrate the wonderful life she lead with you. Nicki

Dear Aunt Betty,
You were admired, stylish, caring, resilient, and thoughtful. You always extended your home to the whole family and valued your nieces and nephews. I have such fond memories of parties, sleepovers, and holidays at your house when growing up. Even most recently, you made an effort to visit and spend time with your extended family. I will miss our monthly luncheons and am glad we got to spend some time together. Your absence at family gatherings will be greatly missed. You won’t be forgotten.
With much love, Debbie

There isn't any one thing special. About aunt Betty because she was. So special. She was a great mom. After all look at my cousins...they are so great. She made uncle Mike the man and uncle he was. Aunt Betty had concern for everyone with her wisdom she induced into us with the loving heart she had. Aunt Betty, I hope you have a safe journey to uncle Mike. He has called you to join. him to complete your life cycle with him. I Loved you so much and. I always will. Thanks for being the greatest. Aunt. Be safe and happy in your next journey. ♥️♥️

There are so many great things to say about Aunt Betty, but specifically she was such a caring, kind, welcoming and selfless person. I ALWAYS felt loved and important when I was with her and she genuinely wanted to hear what I was up to or what was new. I will fondly remember the Seders she hosted and the many sleepovers. I will especially never forget the candy dish she always had on the bar in the basement filled with mint melt-away chocolates. To this day when I see those specific chocolates, I think of Aunt Betty and I love that! I will miss her terribly but will always remember her with loving sweet memories ❤️

Dear Aunt Betty,
I will always remember you as someone with a great deal of wisdom and common sense sprinkled with a genuine smile and soft gentle heart. When I was in your presence I always felt safe and loved unconditionally. You never judged…you just embraced and supported your nieces and nephews. You and Uncle Mike raised three amazing kids who cherished and adored. You always made time to come to Rachel’s ice skating competitions. You will continue to live on in our hearts and the many photos we have of your beautiful smile.

So sorry for your loss. This was so unexpected. I know how much she loved all of her family as she so often spoke of you all. She will be deeply missed by me at the Thomas Place. May her memory be for a blessing.
