We well miss the great Easter eggs and the beautiful crafts that Betty was always making.
We will miss her beautiful smile. She will be in my prayers and thoughts as I walk in the Fletcher Relay for Life in July. Being a survivor is not easy, when you lose someone you have fought the battle with. Betty, thank you for walking with me.

Sincere sympathy to the family in the loss of your loved one. Our prayers are with you during this difficult time.
We have never had a more true friend than Betty. She was just like one of my sisters. She was always there for me even when she moved from Asheville. The emails she sent me kept me and my family going so many times. I will miss her dearly and always remember my best friend. Our heart goes out to all of her family for she loved all of you so much. Love,Ron&BettyHicks,Donna&Dave&Ben and Eric McMahan.
Betty was a friend of my mother’s for years as they grew up and they continued to stay in touch all these years. I was able to go with my mother and Buretta Owenby to visit with Betty about five years ago and will cherish that memory.
All of you are in our prayers.
Nell, Joe and family,
You all have our deepest sympathy in the loss of Betty. We will continue to keep the family in our prays. David & Donna Lefler
