      Betty was baptized into the Blair Branch Old Regular Baptist Church in April of 1982.  She worked as a
cook for many years in the Letcher County School System and was admired by her co-workers for her
dedication and good work ethic.  A precious mom that loved her family and always believed that they came first.
 She loved giving and expected nothing in return.  She had that unique special touch in preparing a home cooked
meal and making sure everyone was taken care of at the dinner table.  She loved shopping with her close
friends and finding that bargain or sale item.  Her smile and warm heart will be missed by all.  God blessed our
mom in many ways prior to her passing.  On that glorious day in September our loving mother, one of Heavens
rare jewels, was taken by an angel to the ever lasting Land of Glory.  

                              We miss you Mom!!
