Betty Jean Schack Pardee

Betty S. Pardee, 80, of Bedford County, Virginia, passed away peacefully surrounded by family. A creative and compassionate soul, Betty dedicated her life to caring for others and sharing her many talents.

She served as a Registered Nurse with dedication, later becoming a Realtor, and also spent years teaching art to elementary school children-nurturing imagination in young minds.
