Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Betty was a true friend to my Mom, Theresa when they were residents of the Carolina House in Greenville. When my Mom passed in 2010 I took up Betty’s friendship and we enjoyed talking about the good old days. I will miss our talks and her beautiful friendship Rest in Peace, Doris

My deepest sympathy to Betty’s Family. My husband, Ken, graduated high school with Betty. I got to know her during her stay at Sterling House the years my Mom lived there with Betty and Aunt Routh. Betty was a joy to be around, even though her mobility was limited, it in no way, slowed her down. RIP Betty.
