Mark, Clark, Janet, Carol and Family, so sorry to hear about Aunt Betty’s passing. Always nice to see her at Kroger’s when we would go and she would keep us up on all the news about all of you. Sorry we can’t be there but we moved to Florida. Our condolences go out to all of you and may God Bless all of you. Love
Dear Family, We are so sorry to hear about the passing of Aunt Betty. I have many fond memories of our family get togethers especially Christmas Day at Uncle Mickey’s and Aunt Emma’s house. We haven’t been back to Weirton in a while so I didn’t know Aunt Betty had been ill. You have a lot of wonderful memories of your Mother and Father and that’s what will keep you going. Just wanted to let you all know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Cousin Barb (Varitek) Sommerfield
So sorry to hear about your mom. We will keep you all in our prayers.
During this past year, I got to see Betty almost daily…for I work at the WGC. We would chat in the kitchen, she drinking coffee and I doing the dishes. It will be sad not having her around to chat with…but I know she will be waiting for me in heaven with a smile on her face.
Dear Family, I’m so sorry for the loss of your mother. Growing up next door, I can still see Betty coming out of the house and heading out to work, while Bill tinkered under the hood of his latest automotive acquisition at the bottom of the driveway. So sorry I can’t be up there with all of you to pay my respects in person. Take care and may God bless all of you. Bill Vuiller & Phyllis Knoll Fredericksburg, VA.
Dear Janet, Tony, and Family You all have our sincere sympathy at the passing of your love one. I tell you she was such a kind person at the Deli in Krogers. I enjoyed our chats as she would cut my meat for me. She sure deserved all the roses she received and many more. May God bless you all with the wonderful memories you have of her as you travel thru the process of missing her. She’s a GREAT Lady. God Bless, Darlene McKinley
I work at Kroger’s and always enjoyed talking to Betty. She was such a sweet and kind lady. When she found out that my mother-in-law graduated high school with her, Betty would always ask how she was doing in Florida. With deepest sympathy, Chris
