I want to express my sincere sympathy to the Rice family . My last name was Whynot at the time.
We were just talking about the Whynot’s. I remember the tile on the front porch.
Beckie, Christi, and Aunt Dale our prayers are with you this day as you lay Aunt Betty to rest. We are with all of you in spirit and send lots of love your way. I hold such fond memories of days spent together with my cousins at the Allen household. Aunt Betty always had macaroni and cheese when I came over…it was my favorite growing up.
Rest in peace Aunt Betty Rae, and give our love to all the family in Heaven waiting on your arrival!♥️🙏🏻🌹
I remember those fun times. Love to all
Bekie, I am so sorry to read this. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Betty Rae was a dear, sweet person.

I am so sorry for this great loss. I sure loved Betty when I worked at Villas of Sunnyside. She was always so kind to me and was truly one of my favorite residents.
Thank You
Saddened to learn of the loss of Betty Rae but what a full, winsome life. Our family was intertwined with the Rice family all the years thru church, school, and living in South Park…Betty always had a beautiful smile and a welcome hello. She represented Lamar Bank well…my prayers and blessings to all the family as they walk this sadness trail in life….Know that God walks with you 24/7 and will bless each step.
Thank you so much. I remember your family.
Words cannot express the sadness we feel at the loss of our precious Aunt. Enormous thanks to Alma Dale, Beckie and Christi for the loving support provided by them for Betty Rae. We will miss and remember her often. Gods Peace.
Love ya.
