Rest in peace Betty, you will be missed.
So sorry to hear of Betty’s passing. She was a very special lady with a wonderful sense of humour, a bright intelligence and a curious mind. Her friendship meant much to me and my family and I will miss her. My deep condolences go out to her family and close friends.
It is with deep sorrow that we learned of Betty’s passing. Betty has always been like a member of our family and we will all miss her dearly. I enjoyed many happy exchanges with Betty not only during our time with G.M. and on more rarer occasions following. We always exchanged Xmas Greetings where we apprised each other of more current family and individual developments which were always in a happy and cheerful light. Rest well, Betty, and we will long remember you and your happy, joyful personality.
On behalf of the GM/GD Retiree Club, warmest heartfelt condolences for the passing of Betty. We will always remember her smile and what a very nice lady she was.
