Betty was a Christian by faith, always attending church when able. She loved the outdoors, from playing in the flowers to tending the garden. She enjoyed hunting mushrooms, searching for deer horns, watching the deer, turkeys, and other wildlife, and walking around the farm. An avid animal lover, she found company in Tilly the pony, Baxter the donkey, Grover the cat, Maggie and Bailey the dogs, and Mrs. Lucy. Betty also took delight in spending time with friends and family. She was the glue that held our family together and will be missed in everything we do. We love you Nan.
