I was one of the card players, who played Nickles with Betty once a week for many years. We had so much fun and Betty always had lots of stories about her trips to Asheville, her activities with the boy scouts and all the clubs that she belonged to. She will be greatly missed!!!

She was a special lady indeed. As a member of the Elks 38 Ladies Auxiliary is where I first met Betty and she was very active with decorating and fund raising. She and Jack were very excepting of me as a new member. Always kind and had her own way of doing things! We became friends and I will miss you at the Lunch Bunch outings. She has gone to a better place! You will be missed by many!

I was so sorry to hear the news that Betty had passed. I was Betty's Avon lady for many years .I always enjoyed my visits with her. She was a delightful person and had many exciting stories to tell about her life and family. We shared our love for dogs. I am going to miss her. I am sorry for your loss......Ellen Davis

It is truly sad to learn of Betty's passing, and she will surely be missed. We knew her through their vacationing at our campground, The French Broad River Campground, and serving as Camp Hosts. We have many fond memories of Jack and Betty greeting campers, walking their dog, and generally being welcoming and loving to all. We find comfort in knowing that Betty is once again with Jack.

What our families say...

In my opinion, there is no better facility in Virginia than Altmeyer Funeral Homes. Not only was Chris Sisler there to hold my hand every step of the way, his family members were holding the door on the day of the funeral to help and encourage me. I will never forget their grace. He led me and my family through the process as a personal friend and neighbor, and as the ultimate professional.
