Betty enjoyed all things outdoors.  She loved living on the New River at Delp's Beach and their home on Old Baywood Road.  Fishing, gardening, and having dogs were things that made her happy.  She took great pride in her yard, planting flowers and vegetables.  She was a wonderful mother and a favorite aunt of many nieces and nephews.  Our mother worked hard all of her life.  Her house was always immaculate.  She can now rest in peace with God.  She will be missed.

A funeral service will be held Saturday, February 16, at 11:00 AM at the Mt. Vale United Methodist Church, 3350 Meadow Creek Road, Galax, Virginia with Ronnie Collins officiating pastor.  The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service at the church.
