    Such a wonderful lady she was. When we moved to Seneca back in 2010 every time my kids would walk by their house in the summer to the pool she would make them stop and give them a pop sickle. They loved it. We always loved seeing her during garage sale season. She had such a big heart and would do anything in her power to help another person out. I remember the many times I would see her at Bingo. I believe that was a happy place for her as she always had a smile on her face. Such a wonderful lady gone way to soon. You will be missed by many. To Bernie if you ever need anything we are just down the street and we would be more than happy to help you. You will be greatly missed Betty. Until we meet again please watch over your family and make sure they are all okay.
