Betty enjoyed spending time with family, she especially enjoyed the company of her grandchildren and great grandchildren.  One of her greatest hobbies was knitting and crocheting; everyone in the family had an Afghan specially made by her.

Betty's family would like to thank the staff at Fort Hudson for the care while Betty (Waddles) was in the day care program and the year plus as a resident. Betty made many friends while at Fort Hudson. It was a lot of work to convince her to attend the day care program but once she got there she enjoyed it.

Betty's family would also like to thank Hospice Nurse Amy Lewis for the care and comfort for the family and Betty in their time of need.

The whole family spent a lot of time giving Betty care for years. Our brother Mark has been there 24/7 through the good and bad for all. We could not have done this without his effort.
