She always made you feel that you were the most important person in her life and always remained in close contact with many childhood friends. She had great love for all her family and shared her sense of humor with us all. As a descendant of those who have kissed The Blarney Stone, she was bestowed the Gift of Eloquence and she knew well how and when to use it. To hear a "Grama Betty" story was a delight and an experience to be cherished.She will be missed by all whose life she touched.A Celebration of Life for Betty will be announced at a later date. Memorials may be made in her name to the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital."It is true, as they say, that the blossoms of spring are all the more precious because they bloom so briefly"
