Events
Tributes & Memories
Betty and I shared many things, including memberships in Delta Kappa Gamma and Coffeyville Area Retired School Personnel. We went to meetings together, taking turns driving to those out-of-town. When I was facing surgeries, Betty was right there before and after to offer assistance and words of encouragement. Often, we both ended up at the same yard sale since we lived a few blocks apart and both walked to sales in the neighborhood. She was interested in so many diffferent things, even sharing recipes and instructions for knitting projects. I do miss Betty, but her move to Tulsa was a good move!
