The greatest happy go lucky aunt that always had a smile on her face and loud giggle, when she stood at the screen door of her cottage on Selkirk lake! Love ya Betty Jean…

Aunt Betty was a lovely woman. Always enjoyed visiting her at the lake house many years ago. One of the greatest smiles. She will be dearly missed

Betty “Jean” Tupper was my aunt. She was funny, kind and gentle. Her heart was always open. I always loved going to her and Uncle Chucks as kids. It was a safe place to be filled with love.
She will be missed.

All my thoughts and prays to Randy and Steve.
