Betty.
A friend, a big smile and special laugh. Always ready and willing to help with any problem.
Although our family moved to Massachussetts many years ago we all still remember Betty fondly.
We have kept in touch with letters and photographs at Christmas times and the odd telephone call, although the last time I saw her was two years ago.
Our sincere condolences to the family and friends.
Love the Crum Family.
Betty was a special blessing to our ministry at the Stoneham UMC Church. She brought joy and laughter to so many as well as us. She was a great support to our ministry and her church!
