My deepest sympathy to the family. I have known Betty since she worked at DIvision of Employment Security Credit Union. She was one kind and generous lady helping out at St. Peter’s Church all these years.R.I.P Betty.
Betty, I so wish we were on one of the many trips we took together. I was able to go to places I never dreamed of going like Dominica Republic, places I would never haven seen like Washington D.C., taking car rides,boat rides, plane rides, and train rides. Two things remind me of those trips: 1. You taught me well to gamble and 2. I was always taking pictures. I hope this video comes thru because I am sure laughing at your comments along with Tom and Helens. I think out of all the train trip was the best.
So sorry for your loss. Betty was a wonderful person. God bless you all. RIP Betty.
She always helped me help others. She also ,with her church group fixed one of my Nana’s quilts. Such a kind, wise and caring person…. With a great sense of humor.
Betty always started her day with a positive attitude and a grateful heart. At least that was my experience in the time that I was fortunate enough to work with her when we served together on the Sr. Citizens Board of Directors in Taos. She cared so much for our residents there. My, what a loss for us all. When I first heard of Betty’s passing I began to reflect on what a caring person she was, and put my thoughts down in the form of a poem that had a deep, personal meaning for me, and probably for many of those whose lives were touched by her kindness: Her journey is finished or so it seems We now must think what it really means For us to lose a remarkable friend Who was kind and caring right up to the end She touched our lives from the very start And made her world a better place with her kind and loving heart The legacy she leaves of service and love Will be noted by Him above And now that she has crossed to the other side We’ll recall her memory with love and pride
I have known Betty and Cheri since Cheri was in my third grade class at St. Peters. The family lived down the street from us. I would come home from teaching and she would be there coming over to see us. Betty was a very kind, loving mother. My husband and I knew her all these years and cherished our time with her. I will not be able to attend her services but Cheri I am praying for you and your family.
Anne-your mother was a wonderful, sweet woman who was always willing to help others. She will be missed! Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Tracy Farris
We’ve known Betty since 1973. She was a strong woman who made life fun and exciting for her kids and extended family. We adopted 3 of her kids as our own. We will miss you but will still be taking care of some of your kids
Annie I’m so sorry for your loss may God be with you and your family
Dear Tom, Sending condolences on the loss of Betty’s passing. She was a lovely lady! Prayers. R.I.P. Betty. Sincerely, Larry & Dana Henson Zimmerman
My deepest condolences on the passing of Aunt Betty. We will never forget her kindness to us when my husband, James, her nephew, passed. Prayers for peace, comfort, and healing for the family.
Thinking and praying for your family during this difficult time.
Condolences to Betty’s Family upon her death. Betty and I were classmates from first grade through eighth. There were only three girls in the class and we were very close friends. Betty was always “tiny” but she had a lot of giggles and fun in her. May her soul rest in peace.
To the family of my cousin Betty, please know I am very sorry for your loss. I have many memories of her from childhood, and always appreciated her work in putting together the family reunions. She and you are in my thoughts and prayers.
God gained another angel to watch over you. From: David and April Howser.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you with the loss of a wonderful woman. From the very first time we met Betty she always accepted us and made us feel welcome. Briana and I were blessed to have known an amazing lady. She will be greatly missed.
Betty Lou you will be missed deeply. I will miss our trips together. Jim and I wish to wish deepest sympathy to all the other family members. Joyce and Jim Veltrop

Our condolences to the family of Betty. She will be greatly missed. We got to know Betty very well as Mass Coordinators and Eucharistic Ministers.
Betty was such a valued volunteer in many roles at St. Peter’s. I haven’t lived in Jefferson City for over four years, but happened to be viewing a livestream Mass on the Sunday after Thanksgiving and heard of her passing. RIP, Betty, and my sincere sympathy to her loved ones. Donna Prenger
