Next came her love for the Florida Gators and one of her lifes highlights was meeting Tim Tebow in person. She also loved animals, especially her pup Angel for over 17 years, our Jacksonville Jaguars and NASCAR, particularly Jeff Gordon.In lieu of flowers, please consider honoring Bettys memory with a donation to Englewood Christian Church (http://www.eccjax.com/give) to support their church camps and other youth trips.
