BJ was a lifelong friend of Jane Darrenkamp, our Mother/Mother in Law, having gone to nursing school together. She kindly cared for Lynn after the delivery of our daughters, Jayne & Whitney, at Lancaster General Hospital. She was a blessing to us thru the years! Our hope and prayer is that she would be enjoying her eternal reward after living life well.

I sat next to Betty Jane for years at Salem Hellers. We never really talked but was missed when she didn’t come as often. I had major surgery and she always sent a note to hear how things were. For the last 3 years she always wanted to hear how my tests were and what the doctors had to say. I sent a Christmas card and didn’t hear from her now I know why. She was always so nice to me. Bless Betty Jane . Colleen Baker
