Lit a candle in memory of Betty R. Watson
Trudy and Family,
I'm pretty sure your mom shook her finger at me a few times over the years as I passed by Jackson Elementary in the mornings. You are in our hearts and prayers.
We love you Trudy!
So sorry for the loss of your dear mother. She was a great neighbor. You will be in our prayers during this time of sorrow. May God give you peace and comfort. from Mildred Sampson and Connie Sampson Walton
Tommy Trudy and Terry and the Watson families, what a wonderful lady and neighbor Betty was. Always outside working on her yard and flowers and still take time to talk with us. We truly had a great neighborhood to grow up in. We'll sure miss Betty. Prayers and hugs for this special family. Love you all. Bill and Sandy Johnson

I have very fond memories of Betty. She loved to go dancing and was so energetic we called her the energizer bunny. She was always dressed to the nines and just a true southern belle. She was so much fun to be around. I know she was a very hard worker and was proud of her years as a crossing guard. She reminded me so much of my Mom who passed from ALZ in Oct 2017. This is such a horrible disease. I will always miss my friend Betty. I loved her. RIP 😢🙏💔
