Betty married the love of her life, Jerry Wayne Taylor, in July 1963. They had three beautiful children together. Betty and Jerry lived in Houston, Texas where they raised their children and moved to Pasadena, Texas after retiring. In their later years, they were known as “Romeo and Juliet” at the nursing home. They shared a special kind of love that inspired many.

She worked for many years as an administrative assistant until she retired. She loved flowers, butterflies, growing daylilies, exercising, swimming in her pool, and attending arts and craft classes with her friends. However, her most joyous times were always with her family.

Betty had the most beautiful heart and personality. Her gorgeous blue eyes always saw the best in people, found beauty in everything, and she chose to speak only words that promoted positivity and encouragement. She honestly never complained. She was truly wonderful.

She will be greatly missed. However, we are so thankful that she is safe in the arms of Jesus now, with no more pain or suffering. (2 Corinthians 5:8 – Yes, we are fully confident, and we would rather be away from these early bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord).

In the twilight if eternity, where stars ignite, and dreams take flight. Betty Lou soared beyond the veil of night. Guided toward her love, Jerry waited with tearful eyes on Valentine's night.

In the cosmic meadow, lilies bloom in hues. Divine Betty Lou found her Jerry waiting by the silver vine. Their hands entwined, hearts aflame, they waltzed on moonlit dew. Two souls, once torn by mortal chains, now free in love's debut.

There amid the celestial hues, Betty Lou felt a gentle breeze, she felt her Jerry's gentle touch, as stars knelt on their knees. Betty Lou smiled, her mission complete.

In Heaven's arms, they danced together, their hearts became just one beat. ~ndt
