Betty’s warmth and kindness were the cornerstones of her existence. Her daughter, Carolyn Gibson, was the apple of her eye, and she took immense pride in her role as a mother. Betty’s legacy continued to flourish through her beloved grandchildren, Wesley Letourneau, Ariel Hall and her husband Charles, and Brianna Carranza and her husband Alex. The joys of her life multiplied with the arrival of her great-grandchildren, Brinlee and Aubree Letourneau, Rylee and Jasper Hall, and A. J. and Jasmine Carranza, who all held a special place in her heart.
Betty’s brother, Glenn Minton, and sister, Lorraine McClellan, will fondly remember the countless cherished moments they shared. Her love extended beyond her human family to her adored dogs, Allie, Bentley, and Bailey, who were her constant companions and brought her immense happiness.
Betty’s love for cooking was evident in the delicious meals she lovingly prepared for her family and friends. She found joy in the simple act of sharing a meal with those she loved. Her kitchen was not just a place for cooking but a haven where memories were made, and laughter was shared.
Betty’s love for her family was unparalleled, and she reveled in every opportunity to spend time with her “grandbabies.” Each moment spent with them was treasured, and she was their unwavering cheerleader in all their endeavors. Her presence at family gatherings will be deeply missed, but the love and values she instilled in her family will continue to resonate through generations.
