I met Betty when my girls attended the Childs preschool at the Lutheran Church. She was a bright light. My deepest condolences to her family and to everyone who loved her.
To Betty’s Family: Betty and I graduated together, and my husband Ken worked with Billy ( AND Betty ) at Purity Supreme. It has been many years since we’ve been in touch, but we remember Betty fondly. Know that it is only Betty’s physical presence that has left you…..you will always have her spirit, and your memories.
I am so very sorry for your loss. I grew up with Betty and was at line dancing at the senior center with her talking about the good old days. She will be truly missed. RIP
I can’t believe you are gone. I love you friend. Rest in peace.
Billy and family,
We are so sorry to hear of Betty’s passing. I have so many happy memories of cousin time when we were growing up. It was wonderful to reconnect in the past few years and share lots of laughs. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
It was a very sad day when I heard of Betty’s passing. I met Betty when I was a college student and she was a young mother with small children. We worked at Purity Supreme. Betty was always fun to work with, and had a smile for everyone. Later she worked with my daughter at Northern Bank. I will miss catching up with her at Market Basket. My condolences to her entire family. She will be missed by many.

We remember her well as we watched our girls dance.
She is with Jesus now so may you find peace during this difficult time.
