Betty Spent almost 30 years preparing income taxes and doing accounting at Farmer and Humble, CPA.  She was a dedicated member of Fairview Baptist Church where she enjoyed playing the piano for 60 years.  She also shared her musical talent by playing piano for various gospel quartets, and in recent years for the residents of Fair Oaks Nursing Home.

A graveside service was held for the family.  It is the request of the family that expressions of sympathy be made to Fairview Baptist Church or Hospice of Lake Cumberland.
