Betty's passionate philosophy: "If I can help somebody along the way, then my living will not be in vain."

Betty's unselfish mentorship rendered to Harriett T. Hendrix, founder of PACTS (Public Charity), is evidence of her daughter's (Mrs. Thomas) quote: "Mother reached her goals by helping children/others to reach theirs."
