Betty Jean Dunn

At the age of 72 years old, Betty decided it was time to get her high school diploma. She took a course through the mail with Stratford Career Institute and received her High School Diploma in 2007. She even got a class ring.

Betty loved cooking. She especially enjoyed fixing hamburgers on Friday nights and steak dinners on Saturdays and having the grandkids and family over to eat. Betty loved painting by numbers and her pride and joy was a paint-by-number she did of the Lord's Supper in 1985. She LOVED shopping and dressing up. She loved to dance the Jitter Bug and Texas Swing and, as a young adult, she won several contests and got $5.00 for each winning dance. Betty loved taking care of her plants and flowers and had a talent for bringing half-dead plants back to life.
