“It is with heavy hearts that the Prince George’s County Police Department’s School Crossing Guard Unit announces the passing of Ms. Betty Heck,” the department shared.“Rain or shine, day after day she showed up with purpose. Her years of commitment will forever be a part of the Crossing Guard Unit’s legacy.”
