    My names is James Brown and I’ve known Betty for over 50 years.
    In 1987, she became my step mother when she married my Father, Garrett E Brown.
    I’ve always been able to discuss personal matters with Betty and at times, she was my rock!
    I will truly miss our phone calls.
    I live in Florida and that was how we communicated.
    I love you Betty, thank you for being a part of my life!

      Jimmy, so very sorry, you slipped my mind during this heartbreaking time. We, Jeff and I, had been gone on a bucket list life long dream trip out west, I had mom all set up with two friends checking on her. Mom became sick just a couple of days after we left. But never took help when offered to get her to the dr. And when we spoke daily she said “she’s good”. I always believed her when she said that, even when it wasn’t true. When we got home after our 3 week trip she was in very bad shape, but it took me a couple of days to get her the proper help, ER tests results said Covid, and she was already past the window of getting her the best help for her to survive this… She put up a very good fight for 2 more weeks. But became way too tired. We had hope some days of her surviving… never came to mind she’d not. Until Friday morning early when I walked into her room and saw her face…I knew then we had turned the “other” corner…and I needed to get family in to say goodbye… in that stressful intense moment I am so sorry I never thought to call you. It’s all so very heartbreaking Jimmy… please accept my deepest apologies and sympathy for it’s your loss also…and please pass this on to Theresa for me. love you…

    So sorry for your loss. As a teenager I lived across the street from her and her family in Michigantown she was a good mom, good wife, and was a good friend to me, I’m sure she’ll be missed by everyone.
