Betty was a beautiful (inside and out) godly lady. She was a faithful servant of GOD, setting an example that all could follow. I admired her, always. She will be missed by all that knew her. Prayers for the family🙏🙏🙏
I’m so sorry .I loved Betty so much . The family is in my hearts and prayers .
I used to see Betty at the office where I worked and we always had heartfelt conversations. She was one of the kindest women I’ve had the pleasure of knowing. She was always concerned more about others than herself. I’m sorry that I didn’t hear of her passing till today. May God be with her family during this difficult time
Sorry for your loss-if anyone would care to share genealogy with me I would love to learn more about the Matney side of my family
