Betty was a wonderful mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend to so many. She will be greatly missed but lives on in her beautiful family. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Hugs and much love 💕
We’re so sorry for your loss. May Betty’s soul rest in peace, and may God bring all of you comfort in His love.
So sorry to hear of your loss. Although I didn’t know your Mom. My mom and dad Bev an Warren Wilkie were good friends and hung out a lot. My dad was best friends with Fred and I often ate lunch with Fred. God bless and prayers of healing for you all. Sincerely, Julie Wilkie Stephens
Your mother has always been an example to me of faith, love, family, and service.
I have many memories of her. The ones that are special to me include the many smiles and warm greetings she had for me every time we met. Many of those times were during my childhood days St. Saint Francis Cabrini church and school. I always smile when I think of the time Amy and I were riding in your family car with her-was it the yellow and brown Suburban? She had Kenny Rogers playing and we were all singing along.
Your mom loved you all so much. May God, the angels, archangels, and the Holy Spirit comfort you in the days, months, and years ahead.
My love
