El and my prayers and condolences go out to the family. I worked with B J for years at Dahlgren. You could not ask for a better person to have as a friend and co-worker. I apologize for not being able to the funeral.

We are so saddened to hear of Betty Jo, and extend our heartfelt condolences to her family and friends. Betty Jo will always remain one of the kindest, gentlest, most humble, and intelligent humans we have ever known. We shared countless, wonderful times at Rappahannock Electric Coop functions, ski trips to Killington, Vermont, and her famous Christmas open houses to name a few. Prayers are lifted for peace, love, and calm waters… Love, Sharon & Kent

Shelley, Shaun and family, We are so very sorry for your loss. Betty Jo was such a sweet friend. We shared some really special times together, even after she moved to Mechanicsville. We would go to Short Pump and have lunch and shop. I was always jealous of her tiny feet that looked so good in all the cute shoes. We would tease each other and laugh with each other a lot. I’ve missed that for a long time but even after she wasn’t exactly sure who I was, she was always happy to see me and show me her scrapbooks, etc. She was so incredibly proud of you and her grandchildren and loved you all so much. Our prayers and love are with you. Jeanne and Ronnie

My thoughts and prayers are with her families and friends. She was a great lady, I only knew her in short time before she retired. R Everyone talked about how she was a great friend, mentor and boss. RIP, BJ ?
