I'm Betty

I'm Betty Betty Pettit suffered with Alzheimer's for 11+ years. Her family documented and shared her journey through social media. She passed away July 19th, 2024.

She became known and loved all over the world because of a viral video of her meeting herself in the mirror. My mother, Betty, suffered with Alzheimer's Disease for over 11 years. She was propelled to internet fame from a TikTok video I posted of her meeting herself in the mirror and showing such kindness. We continue to bring awareness to the disease and caregiving.

Stepping up for my first real public speaking gig, even after years on social media and radio, felt daunting. I was nervous about reading my script, but seeing others read theirs gave me confidence. Thankfully, it didn't even look like I was reading!
