Betty was a very talented woman. We met as members of the American Mother's Association. She was an exceptional leader and caring community advocate. Betty and I attended a AMA National Convention in Portland Oregon together. I am sending my love to all of her family. May she rest in Jesus' loving arms.

So very sorry. Betty was a very nice lady. Knew her when we lived at Seward 40 years ago.

Condolences on the passing of this great lady. I remember her from when we lived in Seward back in the 60's and 70's. She was a blessing to the Seward community. May the love of God wrap the family in his loving arms.
