Betty loved to hunt, fish and camp. She was a good-hearted person. Betty was always helping others. She loved working in her flower garden and loved to sew and cook. You never left her house hungry. She was a country girl! She was never afraid to get dirty! Betty always spoke her mind and had a sassy attitude. She always says, “I will tell it like it is!” She was one of a kind. Betty was a very strong woman. She was always there for us. We will miss her very much. Betty will now be resting by Kelly Malone and her granddaughter, Christy Rene Dugas.
