My thoughts and prayers are for you all during this difficult time and pray that the memories of Betty will be strong for you. Love, Crol
Whenever Betty was in the DFW area, she often attended Delta Kappa Gamma meetings with her sisters. Betty was a professional educator, and she always brightened my days. She will be greatly missed. Sheryl Minick

I worked with Betty at Beach Elementary. I worked in the office and Betty always made me laugh. She had a great sense of humor and was a lovely person to work with. My prayers are with your family.
I will truely miss Betty. She had such a wonderful and cheery personality and made everyone around her smile! She was such a great person to talk to. She really loved her family and friends. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. I will miss her greatly!
It was always a pleasure to pass Betty in the hallway. Her smile was so warm and genuine. She loved to share a word about her grandchildren. May God comfort you with many sweet memories of a wonderful lady. Blessings, Karin Howell
Dear Family, I’m so sorry for your lost.She’ll be missed I’m sure. I’ll always remember our talks at lunch and her happy spirit. She often shared her love for her family with us.She loved you all very much.
My heart and prayers are with you always.
I was deeply saddened to hear of Betty’s death. I worked with her at Beach Elementary for 2 years. She was a joy to be with. She made me feel welcome as the “new kid on the block”. I also shared with her a daughter named Karen Elizabeth, who moved to England in June. Betty was a great comfort to me, and told me how easy it would be to travel to England. God Bless you, Betty. Rest in peace.
Betty was a joy to work with-she loved the kids and they loved her. I was blessed to be on Betty’s team for several years and got to know her well. She always had a way of brightening they day and putting a smile on people’s faces. We missed her this school year, but were happy that she was retiring to Texas with her family. She loved them very mcuh and beamed when she spoke of her grandchildren. We will miss you Betty.
“Angel” is the one word that comes to mind to define Betty. Whenever I saw her, she was smiling and cheerful. Our Father, in heaven, has taken our angel here on earth to be with Him. Betty is now the guardian angel presiding over us all. God bless you, Betty.
Our hearts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. Praying you will find comfort in knowing this beautiful lady is with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. You will meet again! Dr. Wes and Sue Ballard
What a blessing to us to have known and worked with Betty! She was a ray of sunlight to me. I will remember all the happiness and fun she brought to my life. My prayers are with her family and friends. Betty made a difference to our lives at The BEACH.
My sincere regrets to the family. It is never easy to lose a loved one. May God’s love help to heal the pain. Sincerely, Juanita Harmon
We are very shocked and sad to hear the news about Betty’s sudden death. Our daughter, who is now in fourth grade, had Betty for a teacher in Kindergarten. She is our oldest, and when she started school, we were nervous and excited about as much as she was. Betty was an absolute joy for me to be able to talk with regarding our daughter’s progress and well being. She got me through that year with so much care and support that each following year, we always took time to catch up. I heard all about her daughters and grandchildren and she was so proud of her whole family. She couldn’t wait for retirement. I am so sorry that she won’t be able to enjoy those years now. May God be with you and know that Betty was well loved at her Beach Elementary school community and will be greatly missed.
I loved working with Betty and she did a great job with her students. I taught P.E. @PPMS and one day Betty was lining up her kids at the elevator on the 1st floor. The media specialist called her back to the library because one of the students had left a book. As I turned the corner I sensed that this would be a great practical joke opportunity! So I loaded up her 5 students and we “took a ride”. I went to the 3rd floor, then the 2nd, then back to the 3rd, this went on for about 3 minutes. Meanwhile Betty was franticly running around the 1st floor looking for the kids….somewhat panicked. One of her students commented that “You are a bad man!” Well when we walked out of elevator Betty went off on me and then broke out in laughter. She was great and I send my sympathy to her family and friends. Sincerely Dave Banyasz
Our Kindergarten team loved Betty. She was light-hearted and spunky, and she adored her family. We all have lost so much by her passing, but our thoughts and prayers are with her family. She will always be unforgettable.
I worked with Betty at Northern Middle School and am sorry to hear of her passing. She was a warm person to know and will be missed. My condolences to her friends and family.
Betty was a wonderful friend and colleague. We met in the wonder years of Plum Point Middle School and remained friends through thick and thin. There was a small group of us that originally met at PPMS. As the years went by and Betty, Suzanne and Bonnie went to different schools, we continued to meet on a regular basis to do what we do best, eat and chat. Goodness knows, we were great at that. These times will be missed. I was excited for Betty when she retired and could return to her beloved Texas with David. I am so sorry they only got to spend six short months together there. I cannot believe my short little friend with the thick southern accent is gone, but know she is in heaven with our Heavenly Father. David, Karen and Katherine, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Betty had a smile that would warm your heart. Kids and co-workers adored her. We experienced a loss when she retired, and now that loss is ten fold. I count myself lucky to have known Betty. My thoughts are with you, her family, during this difficult time.
I am truly sorry to hear about Betty. I only knew her for three weeks at Beach, but it was as if we had known each other our whole lives. She was an exceptional person. My prayers are with you and your family and it was so rightly stated that she is now our Guardian Angel. God Bless
Betty was a true friend who always knew the right thing to say. She had a great sense of humor. I will always remember her expression “You dirty Bird” said with her accent. Betty loved her family and friends. She will be deeply missed.
I was so saddened to learn of Betty’s passing. She was just a lovely lady with a kind heart. My condolences to her beloved family.
An Angel on Earth who has now found her place in Heaven! Love to you and your family.

Although I never worked directly with Betty, I saw and spoke with her daily. She was always a pleasure to be around. Her humor and her no nonsense attitude were refreshing. She will be sorely missed.
Betty was a joy to work with. She was full of life and energy. When I think of her I see that special smile and recall her great sense of humor. She will be missed and always remembered. My prayers are with her family and friends.
Betty, God bless you. Patrick and I cannot say enough to properly thank you for the wonderful care you took of him when he was at PPMS. You were such a big part of why he was so successful in high school. Later at BES you were a good friend to me and I was blessed to have been able to meet my son’s wonderful teacher. May you rest in peace.
I worked with Betty at Beach Elementary School. Her smile brightened the hallways at Beach. She was loved dearly by the students and staff. When my son died, she was a shoulder to lean on. I needed her frequently and she never failed to deliver. I will miss Betty greatly.
May God comfort you and your family.
I was deeply saddened to hear of Betty’s death. I will miss her more than words can say. The first time I met Betty I knew that we were going to be good friends. She was such a caring person. We shared about our families and how she knew so many of my relatives at Mt. Harmony church. She was such a blessing to me in so many ways. She loved working with children and always had a smile on her face. We shared many lunches. I will remember the last one just before she went to Texas and how excited she was to move into her new home with David. My thoughts and prayers are with you, David. Karen and Katherine, your Mother was so proud of you both. This is a very difficuilt time in your lives and we pray for God’s love and comfort for all of you. Psalm 23
I am sorry to hear about Betty’s passing. As a member of the Connor family, I have communicated her death to our Connor family members. Our condolences to Betty’s family. I try to keep up with the Connor genealogy, and at some point in time, would appreciate if a family member would contact me to document Betty’s life activities.
So sad to hear about Betty. From growing up together I know she was an admirable, loving person. My prayers are with her family. God bless.
I write this to you little Betty…aka “Nan”. I was truly blessed to have a mother-in-law like you! Carson was truly blessed to have a grandmother like you. I still canâ?TMt believe you are gone, however, I know your spirit will live on among those you have touched with your smile and kindness. I promise this to youâ?¦.I will make sure Carson doesnâ?TMt go a day without knowing how much you loved her, and what a special person you were! I also promise to take care of Karen and David in any way they need. My best memories of you will be the many times you would say I was â?oewinding you and Karen up on purposeâ??â?¦.it was fun, and I knew with your sense of humor, you would not get mad at meâ?¦.I love you, and miss you. Your son-in-law.
I am so sorry for your loss and I know how you’re feeling. My mom just passed away on the 19th of December at the age of 60. My son, Hayden, had class with Mrs. Mullis last year. She was a very nice lady and Hayden liked her very much. God Bless.
Betty only graced our community with her laughter, smile, and charismatic humbling spirit a short time. However, that short time seems so very very much longer – a fact with and in itself that testifies to the great person she was here in this life. A vital member of our Legacy Park family will be greatly missed.
We miss you Aunt Betty. You always kept things lighthearted and fun. I will always admire you for making the “best” of difficult situations. Your sweet spirit brought out the best in everyone who knew you. I am sad that your time was cut so short, but I know you are in a better place and we will see you again one day. We Love You and you will never be forgotten.
Aunt Betty, your passing came as a shock to everyone but I rest in peace knowing that you are in a much better place now with no worries. Your spirit will live on with all of us. I remember your excitement when I told you I was going to be a kindergarten teacher, after reading and hearing how great you were at your profession you will truly be a role model for me as i finish school and become a teacher. You will never be forgotten see you soon. Love Taylor
Mrs. Mullis we will miss you…you were the best teacher Our thoughts are with your family in this time of sorrow…Love Creed & Austyn Jenkins.
I miss you so much Aunt Betty. Our times in the kitchen together I will never forget. I always admired your strength to over come the trials of life. Your positive and loving personality will never be forgotten. Love, Jennifer
