I don't really remember the exact time the Browns entered into my life...they were always just there since I can remember. I remember days at the white house with the family, Muz and Paw Paw. I remember loving to go help decorate Ms. Betty's classroom for the first day of school at OLL and that cool puppet theater she had in her classroom! I remember her always in the kitchen talking, cooking, or cleaning something every time I went over to the Brown house. It was always a given that Ms. Betty was at every big event throughout my life. Later on, she always had a new animal she had rescued or was fostering, such a caring soul indeed! And then when I moved away, she was instrumental in helping to watch after and care for my mother. Ms. Betty (plus the other Browns) always dropped in to check up on mom and provide her with the company and support she needed. I would always hear about the good tea parties they would share together - it was truly heartwarming to hear! She was my mom's best friend and helped her tremendously, and I will never, never forget that. She also was one of my biggest supporters to get through nursing school, always a great person to talk to about anything. She will be sorely missed. But her beautiful spirit can be seen in all her family and will live on through each of them forever.
Love always, Carmel Fargason
Betty will always be in our memory surrounded by Tom and her girls, laughter and chatter and smiles all around. We’ve loved being on the periphery of this beautiful family and will surely miss Betty. But I know we’ll always see her smile whenever any of her daughters smile. Rest in peace, Betty! You can sit back, relax and watch your legacy unfold, all the while watching over them from above.
