Waffle House won't ever be the same without you.

"Waffle House waitress stood out among the rest Raleigh, N.C. — At the Hillsborough Street Waffle House, a cup of coffee was sure to always come with a side order of personality – if Ms. Betty was the server. "Everybody knew her, and everybody loved her," said Charles Barnette, a longtime patron. She was the restaurant's most-requested waitress. Betty Mathis Moody was her full name, but everyone called her Ms. Betty. For 28 years, the 76-year-old worked overnights, and she knew how to handle the North Carolina State University college crowd that frequented the place during her shift. "Ms. Betty always had a way of telling them, 'If y'all don't quiet down, y'all won't be eating tonight,'" co-worker Maria Winkler said. "They always had a deep respect for her. She was definitely grandma amongst us." Winkler said Ms. Betty loved her job – so much so that she would make the 80-minute commute five days a week from her home in Warrenton to Raleigh. "She always said that the day she stopped working was the day she was going to die," Winkler said. On Wednesday, Ms. Betty was driving home on U.S. Highway 401 in Wake Forest, when state troopers said, a car driven by Chad Rodman, 37, crossed the center line and collided with hers. She never made it home. "We're all gonna miss her very much," Winkler said. "I don't know if Waffle House is going to be the same without Ms. Betty here." Those who knew her said Ms. Betty also had a way of helping the homeless. She'd pay for their meal, bring them a coat or provide them a place to stay. "She did it because she obviously loved people and wanted to help them," Barnette said. Ms. Betty is survived by two daughters, two sons and 11 grandchildren. The family will host a visitation at 7 p.m. Friday at Blaylock Funeral Home in Warrenton. Her funeral is Saturday. Rodman, who was charged with driving while impaired and death by vehicle, was in jail Thursday afternoon under $25,000 bond."

I can't believe that a woman who spent 28 years serving drunk people died when a drunk driver hit her car.

5/14/2009 8:21:44 PM

man, I bet Chad Rodman probably had a blast earlier in the night at the bar and/or party

sad though

5/14/2009 8:22:03 PM

I'll miss being made fun of by the person serving me hash browns while I'm drunk.

[Edited on May 14, 2009 at 10:21 PM. Reason : the drunk driver, not miss betty... i <3 her]

5/14/2009 10:14:18 PM

there should be a tribute thread without profanity, everyone post there and then someone send it to her family.


and to the DA, the driver didnt kill just anybody, it was Miss Betty.

May she and that awesome hat rest in peace, and NCSU students not do even more dumb shit since she wont be there to sober your ass up with that tar they call coffee.


[Edited on May 14, 2009 at 10:19 PM. Reason : wasnt there an N&O writeup on her a few years back? ]

5/14/2009 10:16:16 PM

that's a bad idea, you don't get a thread without profanity on TWW

5/14/2009 10:16:53 PM

^^ good luck with that

tww + chit chat = profanity.

5/14/2009 10:18:02 PM

5/14/2009 10:19:13 PM

it was a nice thought, they probbably know what the deal is anyway.

5/14/2009 10:21:19 PM

maybe they will set up an online guestbook like they did when my dad died. that would be a much better forum for condolences

5/14/2009 10:25:42 PM

damn, she was awesome

5/14/2009 10:26:39 PM
