Betty loved to do crafts and created magnificent scenic centerpieces with great detail. She would make them for each season and holiday, as they kept her busy and she enjoyed doing things like that for the people she loved. Betty also took great pride in her appearance, especially her beautiful head of hair. She always looked like she'd stepped out of the hair salon! She will be greatly missed by those who knew and loved her. She had a sharp wit that didn't miss much, that's for sure!
