Offer Condolence for the family of Betty Elaine (Stokes) Barnes
Bette was a delightful lady. I was her dental hygienist in Omaha and always looked forward to her visits. She was so kind and so charming and spoke so highly of her family. I will miss her smile and our wonderful chats. She was a fine lady and my sympathies go out to her family.

Betty was my next door neighbor and friend for 33 years. She will certainly be missed by all her neighbors on Himebaugh Circle in Omaha! She was always interested in our families and how all the kids were doing. She talked often about her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She will truly be missed.
I was truly grateful to be a friend of Bettys for over 30 years. She was a great lady and I will miss our lunches at Applebees and our great conversations with a good cup of coffee.
Betty also had a special place in my three daughter’s hearts … they felt she was pretty special.
Good Bye Betty, we will really miss you.
My prayers and thoughts are with Jim and family … your mom was really a really a wonderful lady.
