88, of Palm Beach Gardens passed away on August 2, 2016. Bette was born in Montgomery, Alabama on December 22, 1927. After graduating from the University of Alabama she taught Spanish and English at Auburn High School in Auburn, Alabama. She enjoyed retirement on Lake Martin in Alabama before moving to Palm Beach Gardens 17 years ago to be near her daughter. One of her greatest joys was being able to watch her granddaughter, Alexandra grow up. Bette was the true heart of the family. She instilled in her children compassion for others, a love of nature, literature, and music. She was known for her great sense of humor and infectious laugh. She was an amazing cook and nothing pleased her more than cooking a meal for her family. Despite graduating from the University of Alabama she became a passionate Auburn football fan and loved watching Auburn games. She loved camping in the mountains of North Carolina and the beaches of Florida. She was predeceased by her husband, Kenneth, sister Patricia Skinner, and brother Donald Carr. She is survived by her two children, Dana Rollins of Seattle, Washington, and Dr. Lisa Rollins-Garcia (Dr. Manuel Garcia) of Palm Beach Gardens, one granddaughter, Alexandra Garcia, a brother, Gene Carr of Fairhope, Alabama, and a host of nieces and nephews. A special thank you to Phillena and Henrietta for their wonderful love and care. We are blessed beyond words to have had her in our lives and she will be greatly missed.
