Ms. Betty spent most of her time entertaining her friends and family with funny stories and home cooked meals. In her kitchen her specialties included: divinity candy, cornbread dressing, and canned pickles to name a few. A beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother to many, and they all called her “Mamaw” with love.
