Betty Jo, known affectionately as Betty, was a loving and devoted wife, mother, and granny. She enjoyed quilting, painting, gardening, and keeping the hummingbirds fed. However, her greatest joy came from spending time with her family. Betty's love was unwavering and extended to everyone she considered family, whether they were her church family, family friends, step-family, or biological family. Her heart knew no difference, and she was truly the perfect example of pure and unconditional love.
