Condolences for Betty Jean Roberts
God speed Aunt Betty, I already miss you. I have such fond memories of the times we had together when I was a kid growing up and later as an adult. I didn’t see you often but you have always been in my heart and on my mind.
Love, Mary E.
I am so sorry to hear about Betty. She was a wonderful woman. I had the pleasure of working with her at super Saver and she was such a delight! I remember her smile and her love of all of her customers from Super Saver and Klein’s. I know she will be missed.

To the family of Betty Roberts:
I was saddened to see the notice of Betty’s death. Just thinking of her brings back such happy and fun moments. I worked with Betty at Klein’s IGA in 1984-1986. Betty is the one who taught me in college how to “trick-or-drink” on your friends! She was a fun person, and a great worker. I always looked forward to working shifts with her. I also enjoyed seeing her at Super Saver in the years following. My deepest sympathies to you and your family. May God’s grace and fond memories bring you peace.
Betty was a true gem. She was our boss at Bonanza on 84th & O’ street. My husband and I actuallly met at Bonanza, when Betty & Doneta were the managers. We married a few years later in 1984.
Rest well Betty, you arevery deserving.
