Betty was a wonderful woman and was always taking care of everyone. I knew her from Hogan Baptist Church. God gave her a loving caring heart for many. 

She and Norman loved each other so very much.

We talked about Norman a lot when we were together  because he had been sick so long. 

She will surely be missed by many. She left a wonderful legacy of love and caring for anyone that was in need.

My prayers are with Norman and the family and pray for all good memories.

I will miss your smiling face and Mr. Wilcox will not know what to do without you. Love you Janice

Mr Wilcox and family, I had just stopped by a couple of weeks ago to see you and you were asleep Betty wrote her number down and said call when you can. I looked at that number several times. I thought I need to call, life is busy that call was never made ...its a lesson for us all to make the time for one another you may not get that chance ever again. Mr. Wilcox I have known you and your children all my life Betty only a short time but I know she was wonderful to you and you were both blessed to have each other. May God Bless you all Becky Harber Doug and Elizabeth Gill

Aunt Betty, 
So many fond memories revolve around you and Uncle Norman during our summer vacations at your house. 
Love you, Sarah Chase...
Give Granny and Great Gram a big hug for me!!!

I forgot to sign my previous message....Betty would reprimand me for that!

Betty was my boss and we got along very well. I talked to her last month at our Prudential event and we both have always said,Hi Betty and we also smiled. It was good to see her again since we are all retired. Sorry for the family.

Betty Ward

when I found out of your death this morning, I couldn't help but think of your mother,  care givers give until they cant give anymore. RIP and prayers for your family.

I met Betty and her Sister Ann in Machine Accounting in 1953.  We all worked as KeyPunch Operators, rode to work together and had lots of laughs. I visited their parents where I was always welcomed. My sympathy to all!  May Betty rest in peace.   Barbara Ivose

I worked with Betty at Prudential for many years.  She was always smiling, kind and patient with a novice such as myself.  She taught me more than I thought I would ever want to know about premium collections, but we shared many laughs through it all.  I will always be grateful for the friendship we shared.  She will be missed by all who knew her.  My sincere condolences go out to her family.

I've never met Betty but I feel like I knew her.  Her husband's caregiver was also my husband's caregiver.  We became connected through her.  She sent me a book to read when I was going through a difficult time.  My prayers are with the family especially Norman.  Rest in peace Betty.

Betty was a wonderful lady and I have fond memories of working with her at Prudential.  May she rest in peace.

My dear Aunt Betty.. Your were such an amazing, strong caring and loving person. . You made our lives so rich with love.. I will cherish my wonderful memories and all of the great fun we had throughout my life . My heart is sad but I know you are in loving arms.  God speed Aunt Betty. .

One of the most kind and gently ladies I have ever known.  Betty will be greatly missed by all that know her. God's peace to her family and friends.

RIP Betty.  I first met you in 1967 in CPD. I lost touch as we both moved on to other areas but did enjoy seeing & talking with you at the retiree meetings.  Prayers to her family and friends.

Aunt Betty you were my rock. My safe harbor. My love and grief know no bounds. I will forever mourn you, I will forever cherish each memory. I will forever love you.

My precious friend and mentor, you gave so much of yourself to everyone you knew in such a loving and caring way.  I will miss you, rest in peace my sweet friend.  Love you, Shelby

 I pray God gives the family peace and strength.  My memories of Betty are all good.  May she rest in peace.

 I worked very closely with Betty for about 12 years at Prudential.  She was my mentor and my inspiration to work hard and look to the future.  She introduced me to corporate America.  I will always have fond memories of her.  I continue to treasure the lapel pin she brought back to me from Boston. She was always caring and giving.   A lovely lady that will truly be missed. My sincere condolences to her family

I couldn't have asked for a better neighbor or friend.  Love you.  And I will miss you!!!

I will miss you sweet friend. Rest in peace until we meet again in heaven. Thank you for being my friend and for all the encouragement all  these years.
