Betty Lou Adams

Betty Lou Adams Our wish is that you remember Betty with a few moments of prayer or contemplation, ending with a smile as we celebrate what a wonderful life she led for 90-plus years. Betty was an educator, world traveler, wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Her quick, dry wit and her compassion and support of people and issues were the essence of a truly remarkable woman. She will be missed by all of us.
