I had the wonderful opportunity of working with Betty when she was a teacher at Wedgewood middle many years ago. She was such a sweet, caring individual with so much empathy for the special needs children who were assigned to her classroom!! We ALL "loved" Betty too......... I was totally stunned to learn of her tragic passing during the horrible floods in Pensacola. She will be sorely missed! My heartfelt sympathy to her children. Fondly, Leslie Putnam
So sorry to hear the tragic news about Betty Faye, I was friends with her family and was one year behind her at DHS. We also worked together at Oliver Hardware as teens. My condolences to the entire family.
Some of my fondest memories of Betty Faye go way back to our pre-school days when she and her Mother and Daddy lived with her Grandma and Grandpa McManus, Mr. Mac, as I called him, across the road from me and my parents. Betty Faye summed it up best when she wrote in my yearbook when we graduated in 1965, "remember when we were real little and I used to slip off to your house. Mother says she used to "tear me up" for slipping off, but I always did it again."She was a dear friend and I will miss her.
On behalf of the Dadeville High School Class of 1965, I offer our sincere condolences on the passing of Betty Faye. She was a much loved member of our class and her memory will remain in our hearts and minds and the halls of DHS.Judy RobinsonSecretary, DHS Class of 1965
Linda and I send our condolences on the passing of Betty Faye. We are sorry we won't be able to attend services because we have prior obligations that take us out of town. Thinking of the entire family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
My very first memory of Betty Faye was at the Jackson's Gap Baptist Church. We were attending a G.A. banquet and I thought Betty Faye was perfectly beautiful in her lime green evening dress. She was as sweet as she was pretty. Please know our entire family will keep you in our prayers. The Jim Black Family

I am so saddened to hear of tragic passing of Mrs. Word. I lived a few houses down from her as a child and played with her children. I always remember her being a kind hearted, loving person and mother. She will be missed by so many. My prayers go out to her children, grandchildren, and all her family and friends.
