I was blessed to have worked with Betty for many years at
M & M Sales. She had a never ending smile with even a better personality. All of the different products she sold, was amazed with her organizational skills. My deepest sympathies to Debbie and the Patrick family.

Deb and Mike and family,
My sympathy and sorrow on Betty's passing. She was always a treasured person in my life from the time spent on the farm to every time I was able to make it back to Iowa. I would tease her on the difference in weather from coastal Santa Barbara, CA but she always had her heart firmly planted next to family and loved ones.
I will miss her giggles and joy in life. She was always an example of what it meant to love and care for others. She put up with me with grace and a hot pie waiting.
I will miss her greatly and cherish the memories.
Hugs to all
