Dear Mickey, Baron, Travis, Penny, Bobby, Jacqueline and family; I know I sent cards and dropped by but never left sentiments here. I could not express my thoughts without becoming emotional. Betty meant much to me and was the best of friends. We enjoyed doing nothing together, she was special. Her smile, personality, Grace, charm, beauty. She was a true southern phenomenon. I miss her as I know we all do. She was first person I ever remember cutting my hair, and I was Baron' s first customer, I think, well I know for color, lol. My hair was Marilyn Monroe ish. Never been blonde before. Lol. Landrum is not same without her. Love you all and I feel sometimes like she us in the Shoppe, Jacqueline is so much like her. And now 3 generations have cut my hair! Thought just came to me. Karen McClure Crooks

Betty started cutting my hair in 1977. She was the first hairdresser to ever cut my hair and the only one to cut it more than one time before Baron started cutting it. I will miss Betty dearly. Her family is in my thoughts and prayers. Much love, Lillie

Betty was my high school classmate, a wonderful friend, and a very caring person. I have no recollection of ever seeing her frown or being cross with anyone. She was a joy and blessing to all that knew her during her life's journey.

RIP Betty, and know that you were loved by many.

Betty and I had fun at Weight Watchers wondering why we couldn't get the fat off. The last time I saw Betty was at the Landrum Stroll and of course we were laughing and eating cookies together. I will miss you my friend. So sorry to the family for your loss. My thoughts and Prayers are with you. Katie Pcenicni

Normally I don't have a problem finding words, but I stumble on even how to address you all.....please forgive me.
Dear Family (each and every one of you), I was shocked to hear of Betty's passing. The last time I saw her (with Penny and Carol) she was so vibrant! She looked wonderful! She was having a good time with her sisters in Spartanburg, listening to some wonderful live music. She was such a good soul! She was always so kind to me. I know you all will miss her immensely. I pray you will be able to take some comfort in the memories and life that you shared. A life well lived and loved.
With heartfelt sympathy,
Rebecca Lewis
