One of God’s greatest gifts
So many great times growing up remembering many times babysitting her kids! They loved swimming at Clifton pool and always had an open door to her home. She was funny, loving, always putting her family first! She made me laugh and loved life! She came from a beautiful family I have had the pleasure of knowing all my life. God sure got the perfect angel. You left your beautiful smile on all of us!

Aunt Betty Ann
When I think of my Aunt Betty Ann all I can do is smile. I didn’t think I could right a memory because most of my favorite memories were sounds she made 😂! When a bee flew by her the scream had us all in fits of laughter!
Another favorite memory of mine is when we were kids she told us that the Clifton Pool was hers. I would get in fights with other kids who would tell me it was not her pool. If a kid bothered me I would run up to my Aunt Betty Ann and tel her she needs to kick that kid out. She would sit back in her chair as quiet as can be and say “go tell that little @$$ he has to leave now.”
Aunt Betty Ann was great at saying things you want to hear, she always put other people first and could clean out a crabby like no other. She was kind, funny and absolutely beautiful! I wish I spent more time with her and I am sorry she went in such pain. I love you Aunt Betty Ann thank you for all these memories.
