I have many fond memories of Betty while growing up within the Mooresville Free Methodist Church. My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this time.
My deepest sympathy for the entire Robling family and all of Betty’s friends she was the best friend anyone could have and I will miss her always love to all of you
Such a sweet sweet lady! I enjoyed many talks with Miss Betty, while taking care of her hearing needs we shared time talking and her sharing her love for hr family and friends! She was sharp as a tack and loved her family! Miss Betty you will be missed!
Jim, Dan, and Tom, may God comfort you and your families on the passing of your Mom. I will always treasure my years of growing up on County Line Road. I knew I could not cause trouble around her or she would let me know and be sure that word got back to my Mom. Those were good days, and I will always remember your Dad and Mom fondly. I know she was a woman with a strong faith in God. I am always comforted at these times by Psalm 116:15, “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.”
This is the way i remember her when she would come over to Joyce and Willey’s with your family. Your children were still young at that time..
