So sorry to hear about Betty's passing. She was our dear friend and Christian example to us during our years in Stanton, She was blessed with a loving kindness for children. She took excellent care of our children, Jennifer and Kelly, at Kiddy Corner and later in her home. We are sad to hear of her passing but she is now in no pain and in Jesus' loving care. A wonderful friend who will always be in our memories of our years in Stanton. With our deep sympathy, The Alvin Riddle Family

Betty was an important part of my two son's lives. She cared and loved both of them. She was a Christian woman with a love of children. I know she will be terribly missed. Mike and Tony - you had a special mama!
