I worked with Betty for 9 years at Mercy West and I cannot begin to tell you how much Betty meant to me. She was always there to talk to when I needed to bend an ear or just because. I have many fond memories of Miss Betty and she will be missed. My thoughts and prayers to your family.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother and grandmother. I have great memories of her spunk and grit-a necessity that rises from raising two boys!
She would move heaven and earth for her family. She was truly a delightful woman and I am sorry for those who will miss her here, but glad she will be reunited with her husband. My sincere sympathy. -Ronda

I was so sorry to hear of the death of your mother. I am the nursing supervisor at Mercy West Family Practice & Urgent Care and saw and visited with her every day of the week when she worked. She was a busy body, always cleaning and organizing. She was truly a wonderful person! She enjoyed her work here and was so kind and helpful to our patients. She is sadly missed. She always spoke highly of her family and I think it is so important that you know that. She was very proud of you and talked about you all the time.
Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. May she rest in peace and always look down upon you as you carry on with your lives.

I am the manager at Mercy West Clinic. I cannot begin to tell you how much Betty meant to me and all of us here at Mercy West. I loved her like she was my own grandma. She was a wonderful woman who I was lucky to get to know.
Blessings to all of you. She will be greatly missed. I know she is in a place free of pain now in God's loving arms and back with her beloved husband she talked a lot about.
