Betty lived a beautiful and richly blessed life. She was married to the love of her life Lynn Martin Harris for fifty-five years. Betty was the owner of Harris Flowers. Her greatest joys were designing flowers at all hours in the flower shop, painting, her years with Terry and all her fishing buddies, and surfer friends at Meacom’s Pier, and walking on the beach. Other joys were being anywhere with her family and traveling to the Hawaiian Islands, Nashville, and Washington, D.C. Betty enjoyed country music, crocheting, antiquing, and shopping flea markets.
