    The Davis family is one of the first families that I met when Gary came onto my life and I instantly gravitated towards “Grandma Betty” for the next 37 years. She was easy to adore and I wholeheartedly did. So thankful for our recent lunch together. May peace be with the Davis family now and in the days ahead. Sending much love to you all.

    I always sit in front of Betty and Betty at church on Saturday evenings. We sort of have our assigned pews. She was the sweetest lady. She always extended a special greeting and could always engage in conversation. I sure will miss seeing her there.

  • Richard Wagaman Posted August 8, 2024 10:14 pm

    My condolences to the Davis family and especially Bob. When I was back for a class reunion and Betty came over to Bob’s garage, I had to admit that I had taken some pumpkins from the front of the Davis grocery store at about one o’clock in the morning during a silly stunt. I offered to pay Betty for the pumpkins after 55 years had passed. We both visited for some time and she forgave me . What an amazing person Betty was for all that had the privilege of knowing Betty. Rest in Paradise and hope you are sharing your love with DD.

  • Sharon J. Kruse Posted August 9, 2024 3:42 pm

    The Davis and Kruse family has had close ties for 70 years. Richard, Larry and myself, all 3 of us worked for DD and Betty Ann in the grocery store Whenever I came home, and i would see Betty from afar, we walked towards each other, stood still, looked at each other and then hug each other. Fine lady she was. Betty Ann is now sheltered in the arms of GOD. Miss you Betty Ann Sharon J. Kruse Mesa, AZ.

    My mom and Betty always got their hair done at the “Beauty Shop” and enjoyed visiting with each other and use to tease each other with who was older-my mom was from February to Betty’s August birthday older. May they both rest in peace and enjoy each other’s company in heaven!
