Betty had a passion for reading all types of materials, books, poetry, 
magazines and newspapers and she loved to write. She loved flowers and plants, 
and enjoyed working in her yard. If she found an empty spot in the yard she 
would always find something to put there. She loved and was devoted to her 
pets, Noel, Chance, and Minnie Moo. 
She was a devout Catholic and a parishioner of Saint Francis de Sales 
Cathedral. She retired from Baker Sand Control after 30 years of service as an 
executive secretary.
The family would like to give thanks to all of her sitters, physicians and all 
the nurses for their care and support of Betty during the final weeks of her 
life. The family would especially like to thank Eva and Roy Roberts and their 
daughter Natanya for their love and support.

Chauvin Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
