So sad to hear this.  I loved Betty!  One of my favorite outstanding band parents of all time.  My condolences.   

Dear family...I am so sorry for your loss.  I haven't seen Bettye Lou in a long time.  But I have some treasured memories of time around a dinner table with her and George.  Bettye Lou is one of the sweetest souls ever and just well...so likeable.  The world has lost a special woman but oh boy...how happy heaven must be.  I pray the love she gave you all and the memories you have will carry you through this hard time.

Todd, Scott and the Yakoubian Family:  May God grant you strength at this time of loss. I first met  Mrs. Yakoubian at  a  Catholic High football game at War Memorial Stadium  several years ago. She was at the game with Todd. She was a Lovely Catholic  Lady  who was very sweet and nice. I would see her on occasion at other Catholic games and events. She was unfailingly friendly and nice to me. She and her husband raised a  very successful  and brilliant family . She was rightfully proud of her children and grandchildren and their successes. May she Rest in the Peace of Christ with her husband and all of our Loved Ones who have ascended to Heaven. Reg Rogers   Catholic High Class of 1977

My deepest sympathy to you in your great and profound loss of Bettye. I was so blessed and priviledged to know Bettye first through George, as he was my patient for so long when I was a home health nurse. I not only fell in love with George but Bettye as well. Bettye was a beautiful, devoted , and most loving person to not only George but to her family. She expressed her deep and genuine love always to George and their family.  Her life touched many lives and she will be deeply missed. I’m sure her love is grounded deeply in the hearts of her loves  she has left behind and a beautiful legacy that will live on. My 
love and prayers for all of you during this difficult time. 

I know "Mom Yakoubian" was so loved by her family and she was so very  proud of all of you. I enjoyed swapping recipes with her and I'll think of this sweet lady when I make her cranberry brisket each year. She will be missed, but we delight in knowing she is with our Lord. Prayers for all of you.

My message to the family of Mrs. Bettye is to grieve with joy. She was a devout Catholic and loving mother and friend. She is now in heaven with George and her loving savior. Blessed are Bettye and her family and friends. 

I met Bettye 3 times & she left such a positive impression. Once was in the home on a professional level with her & husband. The other 2 times were when I refinanced my home. She was so delightful and kind. May she rest in peace. Praying for family & all loved ones. 

I have wonderful memories of Bettye Lou from Holy Souls and St. Mary's. Her mom made the best cheesecake! Bettye Lou's kind soul will be greatly missed. 

So sorry Todd, to read of the death of your precious Mother. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

To Dawn, Scott, and Todd and all the family:

Bettye Lou is my oldest and dearest friend.  We met when she was four years old and I was five 1/2, on our delightful little street, Alpine Court, in Little Rock.  We were together practically every day for many years, playing with our dolls, baking chocolate cakes in our mothers' kitchens, riding our bikes, swinging on the big swim set in my front yard, and swimming in the old Memorial Park swimming pool (when we could), and riding the Ferris wheel and carousel there.  We both got Toni dolls one Christmas, and our mothers sewed wardrobes for the dolls and hung them in big blue metal doll trunks.   I loved having dinner with the Rhein family--calling Opa to come to the table:  "Opa, Wir essen!"  Mrs. Rhein was a terrific cook, as was my mother.  Bettye Lou loved my mother's cornbread, slathered with butter.  I loved Mrs. Rhein's wiener schnitzel and plum kuchen.
When the Rheins' house burned in, I think, 1955, we were devastated.  The Rheins moved away, but Bettye Lou and I remained friends--down through the years, marriages, births of children, and deaths of parents. 
 I am so very sad that the Covid pandemic prevented our getting together during the last three years.  But we stayed in touch, by phone and email, and she was always my rock and supporter.  
She was one of the kindest people I have ever know, the strongest in faith and love of others, and, as many  have said, an angel here on earth.  I will forever love and miss her.
May she rest in peace, and may perpetual light shine upon her. May God bless all who mourn, and comfort all who sorrow.

One of the fondest and childhood memories I have was the flower girl at your mom and dad’s wedding. Your mother looked like a beautiful princess in her wedding dress and she told me how proud she was that I was her flower girl! As an adult, my greatest joy was seeing her every year at our family’s Passover Seder and enjoying her delicious nut cake. My dad counted the days until the next Passover because her cake was always his favorite part of the meal.  I will always remember and cherish these memories and her love and generosity.

Dear Scott, Todd, and Dawn,

May God bless you and your families on the loss of your loving, giving mother.  With warmth I reflect upon the many times I visited your home during your dad’s convalescence.  While it was obvious to me how much your mother was giving and how hard it was for her, the love she had for him gave her the strength she needed.  She seemed to me to be an exemplary daughter, wife, mother, and grandmother.  She was always so very proud of all of you.  You have been so blessed to have had such remarkable parents.  I wish I could be there to both celebrate her life and grieve her loss.  God bless you, Msgr. Hebert 

Bettye always made me feel at home in her presence. May she Rest In Peace through the mercy of Christ. 

So very sorry for your loss Rachel!!! Praying for you and all your family during this time!!

Bettye was an amazing lady and I am honored and blessed to have had her as a friend. I was so saddened to hear of her passing but also happy she is now with George!  
I so wish I was able to be at her funeral but I live in Ft Worth now and don’t see well. Bill passed away in 2021 so I have no one to drive me to Little Rock. 
My thoughts and prayers are with Bettye’s family at this time. The world was a better place with Bettye in it but Heaven has gained a beautiful angel❤️🙏

She was the absolute best cook and thankfully I was able to be on the receiving end of that for many years. I loved her laugh, her smile, her spirit, and how much she loved her family and others.   Praying for peace and comfort for all of the family.

Dear Dawn I know there aren’t enough words to express how you’re feeling right now but I want you to know that you are in my prayers and my heart and if I can be of any assistance whatsoever I’m here. ❤️

You all are in my thoughts and prayers at this time of loss….

Wade and Wanda Wyse

I am missing your thoughts, humor, family messages and emails every day.  I pray for you, George and your whole families daily.  God bless you.

She taught me to like salad!   And to make the perfect ham which I still do to this day!  Blessed and honored to be loved by her and her family.  



Thinking of you and praying for strength, comfort, and peace for the family during this tough time.
