Betty was the most ineresting person and the kindest being I ever had the pleasure of meeting. She came as a package, as she is the Mother of my dear daughter-in-law Toni Elizabeth Young Scott. Our family was fortunate to known her as the Mother-in-Law to my son, Tony Ray Scott whom married this lady's loving daughter. We have lots of Holiday Memories with Betty and David's children and grand children. Remember, Love is the most cherished as are all the beautiful memories. May she live forever in each of our hearts as a true believer of love and kindness to all. Always my friend,
Whom will watch over us from the heavens. Love you my friend.

In the warm and comforting blanket of childhood memories I hold so dear to my heart, Ali, your Mom holds many a thread. So many fun times were had at the Young home by so many of us in the neighborhood. Being so close to the neighborhood pool, Miss Betty always had someone else's kids underfoot and was so sweet and kind to all of us. She fed me countless meals and hosted countless sleepovers. My prayers go out to the entire Young family at the passing of your sweet mother.
