One of Betty's many legacies will be her work on the Vannucci Family genealogy which has been truly valued by family members. She enjoyed playing Bingo with her many friends in Las Vegas. Especially, if there was a big pay out! Known as a feisty Gin Rummy player, Betty was known to make new rules as the game went along!! She will be missed.
