I adored Betty! Her humor and joy of living an active life always impressed me. I used to love hanging out with my best friend as a kid (her son) because I knew she would be around and she would be so funny and would play tennis with me and provide such a great home to hang out in, especially in the summer! RIP Betty, you created so many great memories for so many people

I have know Betty for so many years. We met at



Betty and I met at Crestwood Swim Club in Kettering. Her son and my two sons would spend time swimming. We started playing tennis there and then continued to play for many years at different places. Betty's favorite ice cream was Pistachio and also mine so we had that often. She loved her back yard and all the trees where she spent lots of time. We kept in touch after she moved to Cabo with phone calls and letters. She was a special friend and I miss her friendship.
