Betty Andro, 80, homemaker extraordinaire and Modesto resident, died peacefully 
on August 12, 2004, after a long illness. Beloved mother, grandmother, and 
aunt, she was born in Springfield, Utah on September 1, 1923. Betty moved to 
Manteca with her family in the 1930's. Betty attended Manteca elementary and 
high schools, graduating from Manteca High School in 1941. She lived in Manteca 
until the death of her husband, James Andro in 1977, and then moved to Modesto, 
California, where she lived continuously until her death. Betty was creative in 
her garden and home and enjoyed being surrounded by her extended family, which 
included her neighbors, the neighborhood children, and other community members 
she befriended. She always was concerned about the welfare of others and 
actively participated in the political process.
Betty was preceded in death by her parents, Thomas and Bonnie Connors; her 
siblings, Thomas Connors, Virginia Powers, Barbara (Mickey) Martin, Patrick 
Connors, and her dear husband, James Andro. She is survived by her beloved

Avila of Modesto and Julie Van Nostern of San Francisco; grandchildren, Bonnie 
Andro-Avila, Kali Avila, Luke Avila, and Connor Jake Avila and many nieces, 
nephews, grand-nieces and nephews. 
Throughout her final months and years, she remained fun loving and cheerful, 
sharing much laughter and reinforcing bonds of love with her family and 
excellent caregivers, including her various grandchildren and nieces, and 
particularly Kali Avila, Maureen and Tara Cosgrove and DaNelle Ruth.
Family and friends are invited to attend a memorial service on Wednesday, 
September 1, 2004 at 11:00 a.m. at the First United Methodist Church (chapel)
