  1. Betty was a great friend and a good listener. She was my brother Dan’s mother-in-law and my sister Terry’s mother. She will be sadly missed by me. God bless the family and rest in peace Betty.

  3. My condolences to Betty’s family. We became friends through our mutual love of her grandson, Jeff. She was a loving and caring person and was the friend who always had a listening ear and a fresh pot of coffee. I will miss her. May God comfort you at this sad time with His love and accept our thanks for loaning Betty to us for awhile. Love, Mary von Dohlen

  4. To all of my family, first I want to say I love you. We all have been richly blessed to have Betty June in our lives. She was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, and friend. She loved the Lord, and she loved her family and friends. I will always remember her wonderful smile and her contagious laughter. Even though this loss is temporary, she will be sorely missed. We have that wonderful promise that we will see her again…that makes my heart smile.

    Betty June, I was blessed to have you in my life, I love you, and I will miss you.

    My love and prayers are with all of the family and friends.

    Love, Tracey Wallen

  6. Coy and family,
    I was so sorry to hear about Betty. She was such a wonderful person. I work in the Federal Bldg and remember Coy and Betty both. Betty and I used to sit together at the ball games at Oakley School when Jeff played basketball and my daughter Suzan was a cheer leader. She and I would get to talking and she would miss when Jeff made a basket and he would get upset. She really loved him, was always there for him. I know that all of you will miss her very much and I pray that God’s grace will give you peace in the months to come. Donna Lefler
