She was a gracious hostess and as she said “everyone was welcome to my table” and she lived up to that statement.

Betty was an eternal optimist always reminding everyone “to count their blessings”.

When she was asked what did you do? Her response was “I did it all.”

She was a member of St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Rolla, MO.

Betty touched many lives with her generosity.
