Her close friends Tameka, Denice, Tasha, Pamela, Traz, Dwayne, and Donna remember her fondly as ambitious, a guardian, and a giver. In the eyes of her children, the three best words that described her were: caring, protective, and determined.. Her heart overflowed with love, joy, and compassion that knew no bounds. Betty touched the lives of everyone she came in contact with, and her legacy will live on forever.
