It is with heavy hearts and deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Betty Pettit, a devoted and long-time member of our fire company family, and a former Auxiliary President whose tireless dedication, compassion, and leadership left an indelible mark on our organization and our community.
For countless years, Betty gave her heart, her time, and her unwavering support to the fire company and its auxiliary. Whether it was organizing events, supporting fundraisers, or simply lending a helping hand wherever it was needed, Betty was always there—a dependable and loving presence who inspired everyone around her.
Her commitment was not limited to her own role; her legacy was shared with her beloved husband, Bob Pettit, who also served proudly as a member of the fire company. Together, they embodied a life of selfless service and deep-rooted community values. Their partnership was a shining example of what it means to care—not just for each other, but for a whole town.

Betty’s contributions were more than acts of service—they were acts of love. Those who worked with her describe her as gracious, warm, fiercely loyal, and always ready to lift others up. She was a source of encouragement to new members and a steady force in times of need.
Her leadership as Auxiliary President helped grow and strengthen the organization in countless ways. She wasn’t just a leader by title—she was a leader by example, showing everyone how to serve with heart, how to care deeply, and how to do the quiet, important work that truly makes a difference.
