Heartfelt condolences to Patricia, the Mueller family & extended family! Betty was one of the most extraordinary human beings that I ever met! Time & space does not permit me to elaborate! Many fond memories of working as a volunteer with her at Alderwood! Her magnificent voice required a much more qualified piano accompanist than yours truly, but it did not diminish the joy that the both of us derived from those special musical moments...at Alderwood and during my visits to her beautiful log home at Orangedale. (Stoney Point Road) We blended together exceedingly well both as musicians and human beings; hence, cultivating a strong relationship! I often visited Alderwood at the end of the day spotting Betty's work shoes at the entrance to her office, thinking to myself....."I bet those shoes walked a million miles today!" When visiting Alderwood to seek out Betty, it was relatively easy to locate her, as my ears guided my footsteps to her cheerful, famous & robust laughter which occurred very often in a very remote area of the building! God was with her on many a stormy winter's day as she commuted to work from Orangedale to Baddeck in her old but reliable Valiant...singing merrily as she drove along the twisted highways! Betty was gifted with many talents & whatever she laid her hands on, it would turn to gold! We were very fortunate that Betty and Bob were called here..what they planted blossomed with such beauty, enriching the lives of so many in Orangedale and far reaching communities! I am sure that Betty & Bob continue to contribute and serve in their now Heavenly Home! Garry Watson Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. Garry & Barry Watson, Baddeck, N.S.
