I’m so sorry to hear about Betty’s death. We were good friends when we both worked at Kansas University Endowment. I always appreciated her good nature and her humor. With Covid and family responsibilities, I didn’t keep in touch with her, and I regret that. My condolences to her family. Please let me know when services will be held.
Jerry and I are sorry to hear that Betty has passed. We’ve known Betty as a neighbor in Scipio and going to High School with her. Our condolences to her family.
I am so sorry to hear of Betty’s passing. She was a very nice person and a loved and valued member of the class of ’65.
