I worked with Betty at Verizon and later got to call her friend. She had a big heart and will be greatly missed.

There are many people one meets and greets along the path of life and Betty has been one of those people God decided to give me as a relative, a part of me. she was someone I looked up to as the person, I would have like to be. She was gusty, spirited, caring and giving. She always had the gift to make me, a little “Cuz”, feel very included and special. I know she was loved by many and will be missed.
 Very Fondly,
Peggy Jean Neeves Sentz.
