I was saddened to read in the obituary column of Betty’s death. I worked with her many years ago at Pisgah Manor Nursing Home in Candler. I was, at that time, the charge nurse on the 200 Wing on the 3-11 shift. Betty was always a delight to be around. I’ll never forget her quick smile and witty remarks as she gave me the report on our patients (during her 7-3 shift) before she went off duty. I really liked her; and I know that she will be sorely missed. It was a privilege just knowing her. I extend my deepest sympathy to her family during this difficult time.
Jamie and Kelly,
We are truly sorry for your loss. You and your family are in our prayers and thoughts. If you need anything, please don’t hesitate to call.
