Joe and family,
We are so sorry that Betty has passed. She was something really special for me growing up since she was always around and willing to teach me how to ride or work around the animals at the Pearland place or at the farm in Sayre. We have so many fond memories of her that we will never forget. Blessings to you all.

Joe, I'm so sorry to hear this. I was out of town or I would have dropped everything to be at the service. She was an amazing lady.

My deepest sympathy to all of our family. Betty Jo was such a wonderful and unique person with so many exciting stories and experiences. Kiersten and Meagan, I saw this quote on my way to Grandma Mae's funeral and I pass it on to you: When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. Grandma Betty will forever be your treasure.
