Betty loved gardening, crochet, reading books, crossword puzzles and being with and doing for her family. She was full of life; a Mother and a friend to all who knew her. Saying she will be missed is an understatement. There is a void in the lives of all who knew her that we will fill with all of the great memories we share of her.
