Sarah Love lit a candle

“In loving memory of Betty Jean Fuqua, she was loving and supportive, the best cook ever. My heart goes out with sadness and love for this kindhearted woman that would definitely never let anyone go hungry. She had a real talent for hospitality and all types of food preservation. She will always be in my heart for the love and kindness she showed me. A real good mom to her son, Bobby that she loved dearly and done anything for. So dearly loved. So sadly missed. God bless. Sarah”
