It seems like it has been forever since Betty left us.  I miss our talks and I have so much to  tell her.  She was my best friend and had such a loving, strong friendship.  I was blessed to move to Georgia and find her over on Foxfield Trail.  She, Leon, Heathe are all together in heaven.  Her beloved daughter, Tiffany is holding down the fort.  She is an amazing girl who can multi task and wears many hats.  We are all so proud of her.  Betty loved her family very much and was lucky she had a beautiful daughter to take care of her.  I was grateful that I didn't have to tell Betty that we were moving to Ky.  We were lost without our third musketeer, Dot Crim.   Betty always looked forward to my visits and we still got our hair done by Connie at the house.  Today is a tough day knowing she is not coming back, but I'll see her again and we will finish what we left undone over on Foxfield Trail.  Love to Tiffany and her family.

Tiffany, I’m so thankful you all will be able to honor and put her to rest on  Friday.  I wish I could’ve met her.  Meg talked about her to me and loved the times she had with her 😁. I’m sorry I will not be able to attend.  I have a commitment that I can’t get out of.  My thoughts and prayers are with you all 🤗❤️🙏🏻

Betty  was truly a gem.  Funny, kind, creative.  She taught me so much about how to approach life with a light heart and of course about how to make a delicious casserole.  She truly was a loving, supportive mother-in-law to me at such a young age and I will never forget how much she showed up with  unconditional love for her children and family.  It was a gift to know her.

The best memories I have of Betty Bryan are our many Fun beach trips to PCB with our crew from Handbag factory , including Betty, me, Dot , Kay and Betty Joyce !! If that beach could talk  oh My !!😄

Tiffany, we are so sorry for your family's loss.  By sounds of the obituary she was quite the lady.  I enjoyed reading about her love for accessories style and her career.   Im sorry we didnt have a chance to meet her.  Just know you were the perfect caregiver and daughter and did the best at making her comfortable at your home.  Prayers lifted for your entire family...Lynn and Joe Lobis

Growing up, I’ll always remember Aunt Betty as my greatest advocate for having a puppy. Every Christmas she had a litter of Shih Tzus, and even though Mom and Dad always said no, she tried so hard every year to convince them. I can still picture her in her beautiful fur coats with her elegant handbags, and how she carried herself with such laid-back grace. She had a way of making everyone feel accepted.

Some of my favorite holiday recipes came from her, and today I carry those traditions forward in her honor. We also share a love for rooster collectibles—something I never expected, but I know it would make her smile. I only wish we had realized sooner that our love for animals extended beyond puppies to chickens, too.

We will miss Aunt Betty dearly, but my heart rejoices knowing she is experiencing a beautiful reunion in heaven today.

BB, thank you for loving me from afar. I will always love you and your family and I’m so glad Heathe allowed me to be a part of it. Rest easy. Kirsten / “Miss Chicago”

Being BeBes caregiver was a joy. She loved to nap, eat, watch Chicago Fire, her preachers and the news. She loved all animals and thought they did no wrong ever. When we picked outfits for the day, she always had to match her cute fuzzy socks and we had to stop and do her hair each morning. She absolutely loved her friends and family. I’m a tad jealous you all got to know her a lot longer than I did, however God has a plan for every season in our own lives. My hope is that each of you reading this can be as loving, joyful, spunky and silly as BeBe was every once in a while. Enjoy life. It’s always going to be some type of fight. Like her, embrace it, decorate it and make it a party. We get farther the more we give of ourselves. And she gave a lot! Love you BeBe. And to Tiff and Ashton and the family, never hesitate to get in touch with me. I’ll always care for your family. I love you guys.

Tiffany,
I'm saddened to hear of your mom's passing. She was such a sweet person. My prayers are with you in this difficult time.

Tiffany and Family,
I’m so sorry for your loss. Your mom was such a special person, and I know how deeply she will be missed. Heathe always had the best BB stories to share that brought a smile to his face. He loved and adored her. I hope you find comfort in all the memories you carry with you. Please know I’m keeping you and your family in my heart.
Much Love,
Veleta

To Tiffany and family, 
My deepest and sincere condolences goes out to you all. May God grant you peace as you reflect on the wonderful memories that you all had with BB.  
She was so beautiful, kind and witty. She was always so mindful of how she treated people. In the short time that I've known her, she left a lasting impact on me. 
You will be greatly missed my "BB Queen" .

Betty J and Betty B at their favorite Hair Salon… You will greatly missed.

Betty liked fashion and jewelry , but liked to have fun with it too. I remember her walking into the house one day dressed as a pumpkin. It was funny, amazing, and very well done. She had the outfit made by a family member. Her jolly Christmas outfits always put smiles on everyone's face, and I still have her gift of a crafted santa necklace & earring set.  Betty also enjoyed food and cooking with her great recipes.  Her "moist" microwave turkey could not be beat, but maybe equal with Leon's fried turkey.  She was always ready to share. We weren't in touch much in latter years with covid, my hearing loss, and our declining health, but one of our last conversations was about faith and sharing the loss of our sons. Betty will be missed by all, and God bless her daughter for the loving care she received.

Betty was a real lady and she knew what she liked. She was also a very good listener and was a great friend to many people. She accepted people and loved them right where they were! Here are some photos from her lovely 80th birthday. We will miss her!

Tiffany you have your mom's wonderful character, she knew your future would have challenges and she gave you the mindset of being strong not afraid and trusting in God. You have and will continue to pass this love and strength for others in all you do. She is home with others but most of all Jesus. She will be greatly missed for all the laughter, love and joy she gave so many.
Love you,
Your cousin Rhonda

The Bryan family is suffering mightily from the loss of our beloved “aunt Betty” or Betty Bryan (BB).Some of our fondest memories of you were when we would meet up on Friday nights at Pilgreens in Morrow! Great fun, great company and great food!And maybe a cocktail or two! We certainly will miss the Holiday Spirit you always brought to our Christmas and New Year’s celebrations! But even more, we will  miss those beautiful blue eyes and that wonderful smile you always brought with you!
Forever loved and in our memories!
Kerry  and Nancy Bryan

When I met Betty Bryan, the little southern belle across the street, I knew that I’d found my best friend. And, she was for 48 years, Betty was so fun and had a great personality. She introduced me to all her friends at McCracken. She, Dot Crim and I became the 3 Amigos. We did everything together. Until the end when I held Betty’s hand and said goodbye to my best friend. I love you, Judy

Betty was in the Homecoming Court at East Atlanta High School and not Murphy as stated. That was a mistake & we were not able to change it.          Joan

I sure will miss my cousin Betty.  I went to live with them when I was about 10 after both my parents had died. She was more like a sister than a cousin.  After we were grown, I coined the word "cuzister" for her. She would smile at that & give a giggle.  Through our adult life we have never lived too far apart but just did not see each other very often but talked on the phone often.  So many fun times & adventures & family vacations we had together during those years. Lots of fun & silly memories as well as sad ones. This has left a hole in my heart that can't be filled but so thankful I know I will see her again, one day soon.              Joan & Bobby

Sorry for the loss of one of our Jones Family cousins. I remember many visits from my uncle Elbert and aunt Willie Harold and Betty. 
I was lucky to be able to attend her wedding to Leon when I was about 10 yrs old. She looked like a Barbie doll. I’ll never forget. 
 In more recent years, she was the Jones Family glue that stayed in touch with everyone.  My mother waited on that call usually on a Sunday pm just to chat. 
She will be miss by those her family members Bryan, Jones and Collins. 
And I’m sure she will be well dressed and all made up on the other side of those pearly gates.  💖

The Bryan’s were our first friends when we moved to Georgia. They took us in and made us feel at home. From going on trips, swimming in their pool, or just hanging out. We always had so much fun together. Betty always looked so beautiful with her beautiful clothes and jewelry. I loved her blonde hair and blue eyes, and amazing personality! I will deeply miss her and seeing what’s going on at the Bryan’s ❤️

Tiffany and family,

I’m so very sorry for the loss of your mom. She was such a fun, kind person with a great spirit and always lit up a room. I’m praying that you all have some peace during this time. Much love to you. 
Mandy
