Bette is predeceased by Jack, her husband of 63 years, her sisters Margaret McCabe and Shirley Drummond, her brother Jack Green and her son-in-law Keith Guelpa. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews. Bette was lots of fun with a great sense of humor, made many life-long friends and loved to celebrate any occasion.Special thanks to the kind and caring staff at the Retreat at Desert Cove and Hospice of the Valley, Scottsdale, AZ.
