Betty then began working for Lawrence Water Supply and her helpful attitude and positivity were a true blessing to the Lawrence community. She retired from Lawrence Water Supply after 25 years of faithful service so that she could spend more time at home with family and her beautiful grandbabies.

Each time she would take in another rescue, her heart and home opened wider to give each of them a safe ‘furever’ home where they would always be loved.
