You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Betsy was a beautiful person inside and out. Singing beside her at the nursing homes , I saw her love of the Lord, and her love of people was evident. Heavens choir is so much sweeter with Betsy there. I will miss her smile and beautiful voice, but I know I will see her again in Glory.

I will always remember Betsy’s beautiful smile and golden voice. She truly was an inspiration to me and my daughter. I know she is now with her master of love, Jesus Christ.
Not only was she beautiful, talented but what impressed me the most about Betsy was she was always willing to use her talents To glorify God wherever she was needed. She has left a void in many of our hearts but we know someday we will be with her again.

Oh goodness, as a teenager I thought Betsy was so fun. I spent a weekend with her at ASU when she was a student. She kept that same great smile to the end. I look forward to seeing her again one “uncloudy” day. Mary Gwen Wilson

There are so many wonderful times me and my family shared with Betsy! She was a long time friend, teacher and mom to me and my 3 kids. She taught one son in first grade and she was the best teacher! Chandler and Wesley enjoyed going over to her house to play with Graham. We enjoyed lots of activities together and it was always the best time! We always learned something when we were around Betsy!!! She was always a true teacher at heart!!!! She will truly be missed!!!

Betsy Graham. She was special. I met her in my hometown of Bakersville where she was a contestant in the Rhododendron Festival. My father was crazy about her. He was from Todd in Ashe county and was convinced we were kin!
I feel her absence here but I know she is singing in Heaven.

I have not seen Betsy in years but I have so many memories of her when we were at Beaver Creek High School.
We were cheerleader, trouble maker, silly high school girls. She spend many night at my house and we would plan our next adventure. I would go with Betsy when she and Gary Parsons would sing and play for Ms Anderson on the Creeper Trial train ride.
May the memories of Betsy bring love and peace to her family.
I was blessed to be her friend.❤️❤️

Betsy was a treasured friend, knowing her over 50 years. She was helper and teacher to my
TMH child. She assisted with the choir at Robertaumc in Concord NC, she prayed many times
with me and my husband., singing “The Lord’s Prayer at his funeral in her wonderful inspiring
voice. Heard her sing many times at the First Assembly Church in Concord. Most of all she was a
true witness for her Lord, and an inspiration to me

We are so happy that we had the chance to know and to love grandma Betsy, She was such a huge gift giver always shared her love for Jesus and her family. We really enjoyed her many stories about being reared in Todd and her astonishing knowledge of history! She was so devoted to giving and helping people especially her family 1st. I'm very sad that she did not get the chance to write her book that she wanted to about her life story being reared in Todd ,along with all the amazing things she accomplished in life!. It seems she didn't always have it easy many times, but she never complained, always stayed positive and trusted GOD. We will miss Grandma Betsy so much, and so sad to see her go! I thank God for nice memories we had with her....she will be missed.

Ms. Betsy was such a light! She sang at our church "The Gathering" at Opportunity House in Concord, NC every Saturday evening. It was so evident that she loved the Lord with all her heart and used her beautiful voice to worship and praise him. I so enjoyed hearing her sing and share in our service the scripture she was memorizing. She loved her family and always asked that we keep them in prayer. We will miss her so much!! I know without a doubt she is singing and praising our Saviour as I write this, she has finished this life well!

Several years ago at our family reunion, Betsy beautifully sang, "Jesus, Just the Mention of Your Name." I have loved that song ever since and always think of her loving spirit and voice when I hear or sing it myself. Charles and Elaine, I am keeping you and the family in my prayers!

Betsy was my childhood friend. A world of memories cover elementary through high school. She was multi-talented and ready to sing at any occasion. I shall not forget her laughter as it was contagious. May she be well remembered.

Betsy Graham will always be remembered by many that were touched by her love and her voice. She was a happy singer. She joined Heaven’s Touch Ministry about nine years ago. She loved people and all of us loved her. I met Betsy at a nursing home visiting her mother. She was singing her rendition of “His Eye is on the Sparrow”.I thank the Lord for the time we had to love and be loved by my friend, Betsy
