Betty rarely went anywhere in the New River Valley that someone didn’t rush up to say “Hello Dr. Hines! and to thank her for her genuine interest in helping them be successful in their personal and professional lives. Betty was a Victorian style lady who loved decorating, cooking and entertaining.
Her other favorite pastime was browsing antiques stores in search of treasures to add to her Victorian décor or to one of her several antique spaces in New River Valley antiques malls. Special thanks to the staff at English Meadows Blacksburg Campus, Radford Health and Rehabilitation Center and Medi-Home Health Hospice Care for their compassionate care and support of Betty and her family. Betty was a member of Grove United Methodist Church.
