A wonderful Holy Spirit filled lady. Truly enjoying eternity in Heaven with her Heavenly Father and with Mr. Lewis. She impacted my life and many others. As she would say, don’t you quench the Spirit! May the Lord bless and comfort the family in their loss and Heaven’s gain.

Our sympathy goes out to you Richie, Anna, and family. We are so sorry for your loss. Tom and Sarah Thurman
I worked with Betty at Nash Garment in Nashville, NC. We were friends and enjoyed talking about our families. Betty spoke of her son Richie often. Back then Richie was still in High School. He was extremely smart according to his Mom. I am very sorry to hear of her passing. God Bless her family and friends. Jeannie Bennett
