Dear children of Ms.Betty
I was a student in the 8 the grade at Minor
elementary in 1966.She was a great young woman who
truly cared for us all! We became close and she was
like a big sister to this only child.I went back
after starting High school several times just to sit
and talk.The only happy thought on finding this obit
was that she married and had two children!
The saddest was that I never reconnected before her
death so that I could thank her again.There were
small challenges in my learning and she felt that.
May God bless you and your families with love,health
and happiness.

Jonathan and Amanda, we were so sorry to hear of
this news! Beth was a faithful friend of my
parents and myself for what seems a lifetime. I
have fond memories of our time knowing her when we
were stationed overseas (US Air Force) in Okinawa
and Japan. I was about 10 years old then. I wish
we could have seen her more these last few years.
