My first friend and educational mentor, after moving to Chicago in the early 70s. This lady was extremely funny, generous, bright, loved her family, and unapologetically truthful....even when you thought you were right. lol! Much Love and comfort to Anita, Terry and the family who she adored so much.

Blessings to the family of Mrs. Betty F. Smith. She was my principal during my jr high days from 1992 to 1994. This was one of the 1st ladies I ever met that carried herself so well and distinguished. Ms. Smith was stern, poised and professional. I will always remember her as a woman who did not play any games and was about BUSINESS!!! I seen her a few years ago at one of my classmates mom funerals and she still resonated the same values then as she did back in the 90s. Job Well Done Ms. Betty. If I ever reach a level of poise and professionalism as you did then I know I have done well. U were a STAR in so namy ways than you know. Being a principal and educator you touched many of our lives. Love Tiauna Perkins Class of 94 Douglass Middle School.
