    My heart goes out to the family. Bob and Betty were a big part of my husband’s life. He worked for them at Dairy Queen and they were also neighbors. We will miss Betty very much. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

    I am so sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in your memories of Mrs. Davison and in Bible promises like Revelation 21:3,4, where Jehovah God promises an end to death and suffering.

    So sorry to hear of Betty’s passing. She was a real sweet gal, always a smile and so friendly. My father Orval Knappenberger always thought so much of Dick, Letty family and of course Betty. We didn’t get to Frankfort that much, but always tried to visit. A lot of good memories.
    Cousin, Marjorie Knappenberger Taylor

    Betty was a dear, sweet soul. She was always so kind and warm to everyone she met. As a distant cousin and friend of the family, I recall many fond occasions talking with her (often on visits to the Dairy Queen), and sharing information about family history. She even contributed toward the restoration of some family tombstones, which was greatly appreciated. Betty was always so kind, and though many years have gone by since I last talked with her, she has never been forgotten. She provided a great deal of warmth and affection in the lives of many people. We’ll all miss Betty and remember her with many smiles.

    Betty’s passing is saddening. Her family and friends are going to miss her. I was able to visit with Betty the last time I was in Frankfort in August. She had her quick smile and warm welcome at the ready, as always. I first met Betty as a table mate to my mother in their Manor dining room several years ago when my mother moved there. The first picture that comes to mind when I think of Betty is seeing her hot-rodding down the hall, in and out of the dining room and residences, in her scooter. I knew she was a blessed friend to my mother and Helen Hays and probably many others who weren’t quite as independent as they once were. She contributed in a big way to making my mother’s years at the Manor fun and another enjoyable part of her life. To this son who lived hundreds of miles away, Betty’s friendship with my mother was truly assuring. I regret I won’t get to see her on my next visit.
