Bette was noted for her artistry in everything she did. She took great pride in her home and landscaped yard. Mom had a love for painting, but her true passion was dance. She danced for the United Service Organization, had her own dance studio, teaching ballet, tap, and chorus line numbers. She led a busy and active life with always a twinkle in her eye and a smile on her face. Her spirituality was very powerful and uplifting in her church and with all the family. She will be greatly missed, but will always be in our hearts! Keep dancing Mom!
