Betty was born in Sparta, Illinois, on October 15, 1932, and grew up near
there as well as in St. Louis. She and Bob Haralson lived in St. Louis
where they raised three daughters. They were married for nearly 35
years at the time of his passing in 1984.
After several years she met Bill Taylor, and they were married in 1987.
Together they enjoyed travel, time with family and friends and nearly 36
years of marriage.
Betty remained active in her church, walking club, having fun with friends
and enjoying a long, well-lived life. She will be missed by those who knew
her, but we will all consider ourselves fortunate to have had her touch our
lives.

Church on Saturday, June 15 at 10:30 AM. There will be a period of
visitation followed by the service at 11:00 with a luncheon immediately
following. (Please note there is an elevator for those who may need it.)
The church is located at 5275 Lindbergh Blvd, St. Louis, Missouri.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the charity of your choice.
