I’m so sorry to hear of Betty’s passing. I just adored her. I had the privilege of doing her hair for over 34+ years. Over that time we shared many stories, laughs and some tears. She will forever be one of my favorite people.
Betty was a wonderful soul with many talents that she shared so willingly with those she loved. I have so many sweet memories of her. My life was so much richer because she was in it. Rest in perfect peace my friend.
