Elizabeth DiNicola Obituary
Born at home in Centralia, she was the second daughter and seventh of eight children of Frank and Mary May, immigrants from Poland.
She attended grade school in Centralia, Catholic high school at Our Lady of Mount Carmel, and subsequently graduated as a registered nurse from the Pottsville Hospital School of Nursing in 1952.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Arthur, in May 2015; brothers, Eddie, Stanley, Charlie, John, Frank and Bernie; sister, Helen; daughter, Lisa, in 1983.
Surviving are a sister, Shirley Ulshafer, Nuremburg; brother-in-law, Jerome DiNicola, West Virginia; children, Maribeth, David, Arturo, Camille, Gino and Michelle; 20 grandchildren.
She was a devoted wife and mother. She radiated kindness. All of her life, she gave of herself.
In lieu of flowers and donations, Betty would have preferred the donor to donate blood, if possible, at the local blood bank. Services will be private.

My heart goes out to all of you. I adored Betty and have fond memories of her 'working' at Maribeth's farm. She NEVER stopped - she always doing something for someone else with a smile on her beautiful face. I will miss you, Betty. Love, Paula
