We are all sad from the news of Betty Lynn's passing. I was very fortunate to
get to spend time with her over the years and am grateful to so many people in
Mount Airy who took care of Betty while she lived there. Here are some of my
good memories of Betty...
I first met Betty on a cold day in
I got the sweetest hug from Betty Lynn’s first year at Mayberry Days. I was in
the Emporium and spotted her walking towards me. I smiled and stepped over to
let her pass by. She said “You have the cutest dimples.” And she reached her
arms out for a hug. I’ll never forget that brief moment.
Betty Lynn will certainly be missed. I got to meet her in 2003 at Mayberry
in the Midwest 2. She was so nice.

A well written article published in the Mount Airy News with many stories about
Betty's life and career. I've got some nice memories of Betty that I will share
in future posts.

I am so saddened to learn of Betty Lynn's passing. I sent her a copy of my
book when it first came out, and she sent me such a nice thank you note.
Later, I received an autographed photo from her. She was such a wonderful
addition to the Mayberry family, the likes of which we shall never see

Regarding Betty Lynn in 'Cheaper by the Dozen'. Yes the accent was a little
heavy. But for someone born in Kansas City, Missouri, Betty Lynn, it's not
as bad as someone from New York or California trying to do a Southern
accent. I always thought that the director told her to lay it on thick

I am sorry about Miss Lynn's robbery. She is a wonderful lady. Crime is
everywhere but because she was in Mt. Airy, the crime was solved fast. And,
that is the difference between LA and Mt. Airy. I hope this does not
discourage Miss Lynn from living in that woderful town.

I hate to report that after moving to Mt. Airy, N.C. to avoid the robberies
in Los Angeles our dear Betty Lynn has found out that the same crimes occur
in small towns. See the television news link below! Bob
You know, I read a couple of articles about that yesterday, but when I read
I think the staff writer at the Mt. Airy News needs to learn how to check

And the Chicago Sun-Times article about the robbery has Betty Lynn identified
as Betty Lou Lynn. Makes me wonder if she adopted

Another Betty Lynn story.
My story is from Mayberry Days 2003. Betty Lynn and Maggie Peterson Mancuso
were both honorary bridesmaids in my husband’s and my wedding that was part
of Mayberry Days. Betty Lynn gave us both a hug after the ceremony and she
told us how much it meant to her to be part
Since we're telling Betty Lynn stories, I have a wonderful memory from Mayberry
Days 2004. It was later in the day on Friday after Andy had dedicated the
TVLand statue that morning. I was waiting with a friend in one of the stores
there on Main Street (can't remember which one) where Betty
is definitely amazed at the popularity of TAGS after all
these years. Isn't it wonderful that we have a Betty Lynn
Keep her and her sweet simile in your heart and prayers..it is unnerving
when you think of the ages of our Mayberry originals. There must be a very
special place in heaven for Mayberry
She is a wonderful and kind lady with many wonderful stories to tell. I
could sit and listen to her for hours.
Allan, I have had a special fondness in my heart for Betty Lynn ever since I
met her at Mayberry in the Midwest in July of 2002. She struck me as just
plain nice! She seems sincere
I had a pleasant morning today. BETTY LYNN was interviewed on KY-3 news in
Springfield. She will be in MARSHFIELD, MO tomorrow for a charity event. She
was born in my hometown of KANSAS CITY. It was nice seeing THELMA LOU again.
