Aunt Bettie was my babysitter for 10 plus years, starting when I was four months old. I always felt loved when in her home and when I was around her. I can't imagine my childhood without her in it. She was a consistent and reliable figure in my life that was essential to my upbringing. I'm grateful that I was able to spend as much time with her as I did. She will always be regarded as one of the sweetest and kindest people I have ever met. I will miss and love you forever Aunt Bettie. -Janae VanBurch

My thoughts and prayers are with your during this difficult time. My deepest condolences, may she rest in peace. Cecelia Wilkins and family.
Rest Well Mrs. Williams, With a heavy heart, it is time to say good-bye to a Woman who impacted my life for so, so many years and in so, so many ways. I will miss so much of you and the time spent. I will only name a few. I will miss all your passion & love for cooking and the time spent assisting you—it was an honor and always a pleasure. With that in mind: I will miss all the great (old school) music you exposed me to and especially your favorite gospel singer 'Lee Williams' inspirational music as we listened to him on Sundays and Special Holiday mornings as you prepared the family dinner by 2:00pm religiously over the years. Kudos to you and your many recipes and cooking tips and tricks I witnessed and so enjoyed. I will miss the many trips down the Turnpike to Maryland and the walks at Liberty State Park and the many conversations along with it. I will miss the days of seeing you and Mr. Williams both watching your regular TV shows from 'The Price is Right', the Westerns, and your Stories (The Young and the Restless) just to name a few. The love that you both showed and shared, will forever be etched in my memory. The cliché a 'House is not a Home' holds true in my opinion. You always made every place your family moved to a 'Home'. It was always full of warmth, laughter and love. And the LOVE you showed for your entire family was evident ALL the time--it was inspiring to me. Thank you Mrs. Williams for allowing me and my family to be part of yours for so, so many years. Love and Respect you! As you are laid to rest today, I say Good-Bye. I will truly miss you. The memories to be cherished forever, I promise. Rest well Mrs. Williams. My Deepest Sympathy and Sincere Condolences to the Williams and Lott family. Love, Leon and the entire Mack Family.
Sending my deepest sympathy and prayers to the family. Aunt Bettie will be greatly missed. She came into my family's life at the perfect time. It was about 22 years ago, I was a new mother with 4 month old and I was faced with the challenge of returning to work. A friend introduced me to Aunt Bettie as a potential babysitter. From that first meeting Aunt Bettie was very warm and kind. She was so welcoming and became Janae's babysitter. But more importantly she became family. I truly appreciated how her family welcomed my family. She'll be greatly missed. Kim
