In loving memory of Betty Ann, so kind and true,
She cherished her family, fur babies, and the sky so blue.
With a heart full of love and a smile so bright,
She brought joy to all, like a guiding light.
With all her feistiness and might.

She loved giving birthday cards, each one with care,
A token of her love, a message so rare.
And talking on the phone, her voice so sweet,
A moment shared with her was always a treat.

Though she has departed, her spirit lives on,
In the memories we hold, in the love that has shone.
Betty Ann, you'll always be in our hearts,
In the laughter, the tears, and the cherished parts.

Rest in peace, dear Betty Ann, in heaven above,
Surrounded by angels, her mom and embraced by love.
Your legacy of kindness will forever stay,
In the hearts of those you loved, every day.

Though she may be physically gone, Elizabeth's spirit and love will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and adored her. May she rest in peace, surrounded by the love and memories she shared with her family and friends.

Cremation has taken place as per her wishes, and a private celebration of life will be held at a later date to honor and remember the beautiful soul that Elizabeth was. There will be no visitation. In lieu of flowers donations to a charity of your choice would be greatly appreciated by the family.
