Your Mom was my Hall Director when I was an RA. She was an inspiration! So positive and such a caring and hard worker. She loved the students and she loved her staff. I believe that she was the reason I went on and became a Hall Director after I graduated and went to grad school for college administration. She was a very special person and loved her family too. She was proud of all of you. I never forgot her. I graduated in 1979!
Thank you for sharing her with us.

My prayers and blessings are with you all at this time. I lived across the hall from Betty at Sweetbriar and enjoyed her as a neighbor and friend. Betty’s sweet and fun loving personality were always a pick me up. I so loved her and enjoyed our visits.
Take care and God Bless
