She was blessed to have the friendship of very special caregivers, Judie Mifflin and Brenda Krinkle. Bettye had an impact on so many. She always met her family with open arms and an understanding heart. She was a fun and loving mother and later “Nonna” for her grandchildren, which she cherished greatly. During her many years as a mail carrier, she was always dedicated to serving her patrons and going above and beyond what was expected of her. She has many friends and a large family that will miss her deeply. A private graveside ceremony for family and close friends will be held at Shiloh Cemetery on Thursday, June 22, 2023 at 2:00 p.m. with Bro. Tommy Lusk officiating. The family suggests memorial contributions be made to Meals on Wheels, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital or your favorite charity. Online condolences may be left at www.highfuneralhome.com.
