Betty was an active member of Stetson Baptist Church and had an unshakeable relationship with her savior, Jesus Christ. Her favorite saying was "kill them with kindness" and she always maintained the peace. She could command a room with her calm, steady voice. Her passions were teaching Sunday School, playing the piano/organ, black coffee, bird watching, enjoying hours of fun with her family, and above all else, her faith. Betty is remembered as a never ending ginger snap supplier, a remarkable woman, and the perfect example of God's grace. She taught her family that a life lived for Christ would yield the greatest reward; she passed with a peaceful knowledge she was going to her final resting place.
