She is also survived by her brother, William R. Martin, Jr. and his wife, Sarah of Trenton, MI. Missing but always remembering their Grandma are her four grandchildren, Amanda and Alex Hunt, Scott Consentino and Ryan Bulson. Betty also leaves behind two nieces, a nephew, several cousins and friends, as well as her loyal companion of many years, her much-loved dog, Casey.
