Annette, Betsy is SO very beautiful, and she looks just like my childhood memories of you. I cannot imagine the sadness you must have in losing her at such a young age. I watched the video and read her obituary, and I can see that hers was a life well lived in service to others, especially to children. Please know that you and Bill are in my prayers. I pray that our Lord will comfort you as only He can. With tender love, Gaye Sellars Slaten

May you Rest In Peace "Mrs.Potts"
as you were when you were my daughter's Principle at Goodpasture. You were the sweetest, most attentive, and approachable person on the staff. You were always willing to take my calls and were very sincere. I am so thankful that you were there for my daughter Madeline as she was in Elementary School and were there for me when I needed assurance. You completely made me feel that my little girl was so special... And for that you are special to me. You will always be such a positive memory when I think of those first years of school. God "Broke the mold" when he made you... Definitely one of a kind that made elementary so easy for both of us.
Prayers to your family.
Betsy was one of the most effective teachers we were blessed to encounter among our children's edcuators. She was wonderful with our daughter who at the time could be quite a challenge. Betsy was always understanding yet firm. Personally she was such a lovely person. We are so saddened to learn of her passing as she will live a large gap among family and friends. Be comforted to know what an impact her life has had and how many were truly blessed by her efforts and gifts. The thoughts and prayers of our family are with your family at this tender time.

My sincerest condolences, to The Ruhl and Potts Family. I am praying for you all, during this terribly sad and devastating time. Miss Betsy Ruhl was my first grade teacher and I loved and adored her! ?? She was a wonderful teacher and as sweet as she could be! She was smart, young, pretty, fun and she drove a pale yellow Mustang...she was adorable! She always made me feel very special and loved, in her presence...I'm sure that all of her students, would say the same. My first grade class, was the first class she taught, at Goodpasture Christian Elementary School. My class not only got the privilege of being taught be Miss Ruhl but we also got to witness her falling in love, with Coach Potts. It was a happy and exciting time, because we were all crazy about Coach Potts, too! We were thrilled when they told us, that they were getting married and that we were all invited, to their wedding! We all attended, to see our sweet Miss Ruhl, become Mrs. Potts. They placed us front and center, even taking pictures with us, afterward. I will never forget Mrs. Potts, she was truly precious.
Eternal rest grant unto her, O LORD, and let perpetual light shine on her.
