  1. A wonderful woman inside and out. She was full of kindness, compassion and intelligence. She will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Thank you, Betty.

  2. Betty is fondly remembered as one of the founding women of our Ladies’ League at Schalamar. When I ride my bike around the community, I still remember their home as the Finley’s. My deepest sympathy to everyone in the family.
