I went to Mrs. Stringfellow's history classes she did at the little school house and was so impressed with her and her accomplishments. She was a wonderful teacher and shared so many memories of her growing up years on the low country shore. It gave such an understanding of the low country in todays world. She was by far, a professor above all my college history professors. Patricia Huff, Seabrook Island

Betty will be missed by hundreds of people whose lives she has touched.
She was a walking history book of Johns Island. Her History of Johns Island
will be treasured for generations to come. Johns Island will never be the same without her presence as a reminder of her family's long history with the island.
Tremendous loss for Johns Island and all who were fortunate enough to call her friend. Not enough room to list all of her accomplishments in life.

Betty was a great lady and we had some great times together.
Betty would tell a lot of great stores! Every time you would call her she would
laugh and when I hung up she would say thank you for calling me.
I was so glad she was in our bible study as she knew a lot about the bible. She would
help out with our study.
I will miss her very much.
I am sorry and my love and prayers go to her family.

Betty Stringfellow was a true supporter of our Johns Island community. She accomplished much for many, many organizations that help our less fortunate.
She wrote a wonderful history of Johns Island which I enjoyed greatly. We all will miss her. I wish someone could pick up taking care of the one room school house she saved. Bill Huff Seabrook

I attended Betty's classes she gave about John's Island at the little schoolhouse
she saved where Sidi's use to be. I, being a history teacher as well, so enjoyed her beautifully prepared lessons rich with life and facts about her beloved home. She was a superb teacher and a giving and lovely lady. She will be so missed.
My condolences to all her family, Sincerely, Pat Huff
