Betty was truly a gem and always a pleasure to be around. I knew Betty as she and I worked together at EDS. She had a special place in her heart for single moms, like myself. I remember her always talking about her little "Sarah". Every time I drive by First Baptist Church in downtown Plano, I'm surrounded by the wonderful memories of Betty.
May God surround her family with peace and love.
