Betty was one of my favorite residents at gm! She was so dedicated and loyal to every single person she came in contact with including Mary. She will be missed–Sherry Nowacki LPN
I just became acquainted with Betty in the last month or so at Greenwood Meadows. When visiting our family member at lunch, we sat at the table with Betty and visited. She was always so sweet and positive. The table seems so empty without her smile. Betty, you are missed. However, I know God will be happy when he hears you say, ‘I just love you.’ Becky & family
Betty was such a sweet lady and I know her family will miss her greatly. When my daughter was about 10 she wanted to go to church camp but her friend couldn’t go. The only way she would go was if Betty would be there. The week that Betty would be there was full so she didn’t think she could go. At the last minute Betty called and said there was an opening and my daughter could go if she wanted. We packed her clothes and off she went to camp. Betty was a special lady to my daughter and to me.
