Betty was the sweetest and kindest person you could ever know. I am sorry for her loss to us here but know she is rejoicing in heaven.
Betty was the best sister anyone could hope to have. She was kind, sweet and loving to everyone she knew. I will miss her always. I know she is in heaven wearing her crown of glory and rejoicing to see her two sons.
Betty was my Sunday School teacher in 1961 and 1962 at White Rock Baptist. She influenced my life for The Lord tremendously and I had the privilege to reconnect with Betty a few years ago and share that with her.💖 Our family moved to Georgia in 1963 when I was 11yrs old, so j didn’t get to have her as my SS teacher anymore. I was privileged to visit with her when I would come to NC. I’ve said all of that to say, even after all these years, I’ve never forgotten this precious lady. She truly was a very special person, and I appreciate her so much. She was so very kind and gentle…and that smile was the best💝 I LOVE BETTY CROWDER and I look so forward now, to spending eternity with this precious saint of God. SHE LOVED HER LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, AND SHARED HIM WITH CHILDREN💝

Dear Family, many years have passed, but I fondly remember Betty and her parents and family as well as her late husband and his family. I once lived in the community in which they lived, went to school with them, and was a member of White Rock Baptist Church. I know Betty will long be remembered by all who were her friends and that, you her family, will cherish memories only you know. One day I will see Betty again and renew a friendship from long ago. May each of you feel the presence of Jesus today.
Such a wonderful woman. We are so saddened by the loss but so happy for her to be home with her savior. The family is in our thoughts during this difficult time.
