I have SO many fond memories of time with Jeannie, Betty and all the Jones family. We had great fun together. I remember the George Washington house like it was yesterday. So sad how life moves on and we grow apart even tho we don’t want to. I miss those “old days”. My sympathy and love to you all. ❤️ Jan Johnson Dent
I met Betty while I worked at St. Joseph Medical Center & she was a volunteer. She always had a big smile on her face & she was so willing to help in any capacity that was asked of her. She was such a joy to be around & one of those people you never forget. My deepest condolences to her family.
