When I first met your mom she lived on the 6th floor she quickly became an endearing soul to me I'm not sure when she moved to the third floor to be part of the assisted group but it was a blessing to all of us! if I came in her room a little late with pills she always had something kind to say even when she was frustrated with things going the way they were or not remembering things like she wanted to she would always praise God that she had had the time she's had . she loved her church, she loved her kids and that little baby Frankie oh my did he light up her life! I wish I had been there to hear of her two other great-grandchildren and see the Joy on her face when she had learned of their impending arrival. Most of all she had a love for God that you could see as soon as you met her. As much as we were there to care for her she really cared for us, if you were feeling a little blue you could count on her for some encouraging words. If you wanted a good laugh you could count on her for a funny story. If wanted to see the support of a loving family you didn't need to look any further than her son. I thank the family for letting Miss Betty be a part of medallion till the end. I admit I encouraged her to move closer to her son to enjoy those grandbabies and great grands but she wouldn't have it she wanted to stay near her church family and near those that she cared for also, even though I know she loved the children and the grandchildren and the great grands more than anything else in this world she had a place in the hearts of many and her work wasn't done influencing those around her. Now that her journey on this Earth is over and her rejoicing journey goes on I hope all that worked with her were as touched by her as I was. Robin

In thinking about how my mom's life should be remembered, it seemed to me that there are four ingredients - her nurturing, her sense of humor, her religious passion, and her writing. Her nurturing included, of course, being a loving mother to my brother and me, but also encompassed working outside the home to help pay for our schooling. Her nurturing efforts also extended to the activities of the youth of Bethel and the Philippine and Japanese students she hosted at her home. It even included her love of the mini horses next door and the llamas boarded in her backyard. Nurturing relationships with neighbors, friends and office mates were equally important to her. Luncheons, phone calls, letters, and greeting cards of all varieties were her staples for cementing links with her fellow travelers in life. And most importantly, many of you witnessed firsthand the loving relationship she had with my dad, Doug. Humor was a key piece of their marriage, and my mom's natural smile and laughter always lifted my dad's spirits. His love of Halloween hijinks complemented her sense of humor. Our famous "green stamps" incident showed us how she was able to be the target of a funny prank and take it in stride. The story goes there used to be a dump located close to nearby Rattlesnake Hill. On the way home after making a drop off with dad, my brother and I found some green stamps in the glove box from some other purchase. When we got home, dad gave them to mom and told her that the dump was now giving green stamps. She swallowed it hook, line, and sinker, but just for a few minutes. Then there was the realization of the prank on her face, and unforgettable smiles and laughter all around. Religious passion drove mom starting with daily devotions and prayer, weekly bible studies, and attending services and religious retreats. She was an engaged reader and giver of spiritual books. She and dad also sang in the Bethel choir and the Soli Deo Gloria community choir. Mom's writing included prize winning jingles while in a contesting club and many magazine articles. But her poetry is where one can most clearly see her nurturing, her humor, and her religious passion interwoven. Her observations of Colorado's landscapes, weather, and changes of seasons served many times as a poetic backdrop. That's why her poetry will help all of us remember her life. But for me, I'll always remember her for what she said at the end of our telephone calls: "My thoughts and prayers are with you every day." I'm sure she's up there right now saying that to all of us. Larry Day, Son

My Grandma was a remarkable woman. You could argue that most people would say that about their own grandmothers, but I can say it without bias. She had a kind, quick wit that I didn't fully appreciate until I was older. She was a generous, loving and selfless woman that always gave more than she took. She was a phenomenal poet, devoted Christian, loving mother, grandmother and great grandmother. I am a better woman for having had her in my life and I'll always strive to make her proud. These last few years I made a point to call her more often. I would usually use my long commute home from work as the opportunity to talk to her. What started as a scheduled call to just "check-in" turned into my most enjoyable drives. They made the commute bearable. "Hi Grandma, it's Kelsea" was always greeted with "Oh Kelsea!". Sometimes I could tell she was having a tough day, but as soon as she would hear my voice, I'd hear her smile and I couldn't help but smile, too. Our conversations varied but she always made sure I knew before she hung up that she loved me and that I was in her thoughts and prayers. There was something indescribably comforting about hearing her say that and I will miss it terribly. I know she's still watching over me but I'll miss our talks and hearing her smile. It breaks my heart and frustrates me to no end that this pandemic stood in the way of Grandma being able to meet her great grandkids. She always told me how much she loved being "G-G-Ma" and she loved getting pictures of her great grandbabies. She always talked about how she proudly displayed the pictures of Frankie, Cal and Diana on her fridge. I wish she could've known my daughter. When it came to choosing Diana's middle name, I knew I wanted it to be Elizabeth after her. When I told Grandma, it was the loudest I'd heard her smile on our calls in a while. I hope she could hear the smile I gave back. There are a lot of things I wish I could do over, do again, or started to do sooner when it comes to Grandma. I'll always wish we had more time, that we visited more or talked more. But I'll cherish the time we had. She lives on through all of us that knew and loved her. And she will always be in our thoughts and prayers like we were always in hers. I miss her and I love her. I take comfort that I was able to tell her that again before she passed.

Aunt Betty was an important part of our lives for many years. We remember her laugh, her beautiful gladiolas, the family parties on Templeton Gap Road, her love of the cabin on Linger Longer Lane, her willingness to dig in and help where needed, her deep devotion and prayers and who could forget the 50th Anniversary Party when our parents were an hour early! Our deepest sympathy to Kenny, Larry and his family, Cheryl Johnson Huban and Lynn Johnson Ishmael

I worked at Medalion Retirement Community where Betty resided. She fast my became my favorite. When I had nothing to do I would go to her room. She was such a sweet spirit and had a love for God that was vivid and real. I was unable to visit her in her last months because of this virus and it breaks my heart. But I know where she is and because of that I rejoice even while my heart grieves. Good bye dear friend, until we meet again. ~Love, Valerie Grossano

I work at Medallion Retirement Community where Betty was a resident. Betty was always quick to share a smile and a great story. She always had a positive attitude and put a smile on my face every single time. She was also quick to share pictures of her family. I will miss you Betty and hope you are at peace with your loving husband. I will miss you but know you are where you want to be. I look forward to meeting you again. Michelle Milner
