great fondness of her visit to South Africa. From the snow-covered
mountains of Alaska to encountering lions on the safari, Betty was always
up for an adventure. She truly enjoyed the outdoors, spending many days
with her family on the boat or grilling out at Loons Echo Campground on

the roads around her community, stopping to spend time and chat with her
friends and neighbors, all of whom loved her.
