Betty lived her entire life in the Mount Pleasant community, it was there she found her husband, raised her family, and attended church. Betty showed her faith through her generosity towards others, she would give someone the shirt off of her back. Further, she was honest and forthright, don’t ask if you didn’t want the truth. She was the type of person that appreciated God’s creations. She enjoyed spending time in nature and tending to her flowers, as well as her animals, particularly her dog Princess, whom only Betty could love. She was a loving mother and doting grandmother.
