Bettie gave us so many little memories that now mean everything. I’ll always remember getting checked out of junior high English class for hair appointments with her and feeling so special because of it. She knew how to turn ordinary days into memories you never forget.
Another favorite memory is riding in the car with her singing along to oldies and church songs like she didn’t have a care in the world. Those moments felt so simple at the time, but they became some of the sweetest memories of love, comfort, and family.

I’ll miss her deeply and will carry those memories with me forever.

One of my earliest memories is from when we lived in Fruitland, MD, when she used to clean offices in Ocean City. During the summer I would accompany her, and if I was good, we would stop on the boardwalk and get boardwalk fries. I love you Mom.
