My Aunt Betty made me feel so loved and special. One of my memories of her was when she was visiting my parents in Terre Haute, Indiana back in the 1980s. I was living in Charleston, South Carolina and coming home for Thanksgiving. I knew Aunt Betty was going to be there and was in a big hurry to be with her for the holiday.

My Aunt Betty made me feel so loved and special. One of my memories of her was when she was visiting my parents in Terre Haute, Indiana back in the 1980s. I was living in Charleston, South Carolina and coming home for Thanksgiving. I knew Aunt Betty was going to be there and was in a big hurry to be with her for the holiday. I was driving back when arriving in Indianapolis I was met by a very bad snow storm. It was very difficult to drive to Terre Haute from there and I was scared. I made it and when I pulled into the driveway and got into the house my mother and Aunt Betty were there waiting for me with open arms. The house was warm and smelled so good from the all the cooking going on and was even better because my special sweet wonderful Aunt Betty was there with us for that Thanksgiving.

I also named my goldfish Betty when I was about 8 years old and that fish lived for about two years. I think she felt honored that I would name my fish after her and we had a good laugh about it. I will miss her very much.

My husband and I would like to extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of your beloved Bettie. The grief felt when we lose a loved one may seem unbearable. At such times, we have gone to the comfort of God's Words, for he too, feels our pain when one we love dies.( Psalm 34:18 ) May you also find comfort from the experiences you shared together. Take care of yourself and each other.

Aunt Betty will always hold a special place in my heart. On a family trip to Philadelphia we were visiting Tracey's childhood spots. This is the first time I heard the story of Ellen. It was an amazing thing to personally witness the faith of this woman. She was a sweet special lady. I will miss her.

I remember the great visits in Cheyenne with Aunt Bettie. She was always interested in what was going on in the lives of all 9!of the Dixon kids. What a gentle, loving person.

I fondly remember driving through a blizzard in Cheyenne with Aunt Betty to get to Baskin & Robins to get some jamocha almond fudge ice cream. It gives me pleasure to think of Betty, Helen, Uncle Father Joe...and Cookie, Joe, Uncle Johnny having a joyous reunion....eating great ice cream and saying...Betty..welcome home....we are so glad you are here. I loved how Betty made me feel like I was the most important person in the world when we were talking. We will miss her gentle spirit. 5

Rest in the Father’s Eternal Peace and Love.

She was a GREAT Nana to Mike, Mary Ellen, Emily and I. With Grandmom Sue, with had a "Cool Grandmom and Sweet Nana." She loved the simple things in life, and I'd like to think I learned to stop appreciate them as well. I will miss her so much... taking walks and singing, "your pep, your pep, you got it, now keep it, do'gonnit, don't lose it!" Everytime we heard an ambulance go by, she told me to say a

She was a GREAT Nana to Mike, Mary Ellen, Emily and I. With Grandmom Sue, with had a "Cool Grandmom and Sweet Nana." She loved the simple things in life, and I'd like to think I learned to stop appreciate them as well. I will miss her so much... taking walks and singing, "your pep, your pep, you got it, now keep it, do'gonnit, don't lose it!" Everytime we heard an ambulance go by, she told me to say a Hail Mary for whomever was in danger. I still find myself doing it. She would watch the real old classis movies, and, since she couldn't hear that well, the volume was always up real high. One night I couldn't sleep when she was babysitting us. I went downstairs and watched "All About Eve" with her. I loved it. Nana was always a classy lady, always dressed nicely, stood up straight and held her head high. The last couple years were hard on all of us. She is finally at peace. I hope she's partying and carrying on with Uncle Joe up there. Love you Nana.

What a beautiful lady! Her life wasn't always easy, but she always had a smile on her face and her hair was always perfect! The "Dolly Girls" are singing and dancing in heaven. I know Lucie and Father Joe and Uncle Johnny welcomed her with open arms. She will always be in my best memories.
