Proverbs 31:26,28-29,31: She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: “Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all”. Honor her for all that her hands have done and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

At Betty’s request, no memorial service will be held.
