Betty Jean (Goodnight) Smith

Betty J. Smith

9/20/1949 – 9/23/2020

Betty was the fourth of five children, with three sisters and one brothers, all of whom she shared a lifetime of laughter and memorable escapades.  In 1974, Betty became one of the first women hired as a patrol officer by the Denver Police Department, and proudly carried her badge for 34 years.  In 1996, Betty’s heart grew three times its size with love when her granddaughter was born, who continued to remain the light and joy of her life. Betty was a loving, trusted, and faithful wife, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend.

Betty, you have so many who love and miss you! Our love for you will remain in our hearts forever.
