It is with deep sadness that we inform you of the passing of Billy Scantlebury, owner of Betty Ann Food Shop. Billy was a friend to many and taught those who knew him best about the important and simple things in life. He fought a courageous battle and up until the very end thought about reopening the bakery and serving donuts to the community he loved so much. Heaven gained an angel today and one of the best bakers in the world.
