Cousin Betty will be greatly missed. Even though our time together over the past years had been very limited and sporadic, we managed to stay in touch via email, texts, and most recently telephone calls. She loved to talk about her family, past and present, and always asked how the 'cousins' were doing. She loved her family immensely!! Her voice told it all...upbeat and lively, never down. That is how I will always remember cousin Betty. My condolences to her son Mark and his family, niece Jana Barth McDermott and her family. Love, Judy Johnson Martin
