Leave a tribute for Betty Jean Kincaid.
Betty and I worked together at Hopewell Baptist daycare around 35 years ago, I fell in love with her instantly. We had many laughs and fun times together. Later in life I became amazing friends with her daughter Carol and my heart about exploded when I realized who her mom was. This lady was very precious to me. I know her suffering is no more and she is now with Jesus. Praying for her sweet husband, Jeff, Carol and your entire family. I love you all.
She was a sweet lady I sure loved taking care of her while I was a cna at grace heights,may she rest in peace
