Betty was a beloved member of the
Stanly Arts Guild, and we will miss having her daughter bring her into the gallery on N Second Street. We are so sorry for your loss. Carole H. Poplin
Mrs. Ross was the perfect example of a true lady. Her kindness, compassion and grace will never be forgotten. Please accept my sincere sympathy.
So very sorry about your precious Mother! She was so sweet and always appreciated my music! May the Lord comfort your family! Love and prayers! Anne F. Cooper
I am thankful to have known Betty. We took the Horticulture Course together at Stanly Community College. She was a fine lady, and friend.
Betty was a superb mother, neighbor and friend. She never met a stranger and gave freely of her time and talents. Albemarle and Stanly county are better because of her many contributions. Thoughts and prayers to her family.
What a wonderful neighbor and friend Betty was to our family! Walking by her home, she could often be seen tending her many plants. She was an artistic gardener. Her love of nature also included animals. One night, she called to ask if we could help her capture and release a black snake that had mysteriously entered her home. I asked if we should have a hoe ready if he escaped. Oh no! He would be captured alive…and he was.
When I found an enormous turtle between our homes, Betty helped me wrangle him onto a hefty box. We laughed as we struggled to carry him to the creek where we released him. Another time a kitten walked into our yard looking very needy. We would soon be out of town for some time. What to do…ask Betty. She took on the challenge of raising “Pooh,” which her daughter Cindy continues to this day. Betty liked chocolate and was a frequent baker of brownies. She was generous in sharing with us. I still think of her walking up our driveway, a smile on her face and a plate of brownies in her hand. We are thankful for Betty. She was a lovely neighbor and friend!
