Dear Kenneth, Jennifer, Mark and family,
It is with a heavy heart that I send my condolences. Betty and I worked together for many years at First Tennessee Bank.
She was a hard worker and we shared many days together with banking duties and also much laughter. She brightened our
days with stories of her family. She loved you more than you could ever know. Your loss is great, but we all know that Betty would want your faith to lift you up. The times that are ahead of you will be difficult without your wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend. I will hold all of you close in prayer. Please find comfort knowing that Betty is with her Lord and Savior.
Much love,
Kathy Baker

Betty and I were classmates at Lamar. I visited with Betty several times at the bank in 2001 - 2002 while handling affairs for my ill Mother. She was always so cordial and helpful. My sincere condolences to Kenneth and the family.
