Betty Jane Gregory
Betty Jane GregoryCrossBetty Jane Gregory passed away early Thursday morning, January 12, 2017 at her home surrounded by her loving family.

To the family  and friends  of Beatty  Jane I would  just like to say how sorry I am to hear about her passing. She was the best neighbor  a person could ask for. Many times would I go by on my way home from work and she would be out laying on the ground with her (toy) John  Deere on ramps scraping  the deck! I only asked if she needed help 1 time because  she truly  loved doing it herself and being independent. She didn't  want my help. I wish I could attend  the services but I will be on a cruise. Sorry for not being  able to come.
