She loved gardening and animals but her greatest joy was her grandchildren.  Betty was born in Smithville, MO and eventually relocated to Estes Park, CO. In her latter years she shared her time between Missouri and Mississippi so she could be closer to her grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Services were delayed due to Covid and masks are certainly welcomed.  Betty's final wish was for her ashes to be spread on Pikes Peak in the Rocky Mountains. A remembrance stone will be placed next to her parents' at Line Creek Cemetery in Platte Woods, MO.  In lieu of flowers, the family request donations be made to your local animal shelter in her honor as she was incredibly passionate about animal rescue and was devoted to her cats, dogs and horses.
