I have many good memories of Betty when she and her family lived next door. I spent many hours in her home with her before she married and after when she and Choppy started a family. Her family included Grandparents, in-laws and children all of who were kind and generous to me as well as my siblings. My sincere condolences to all you with the loss of Betty.

I have nice memories of Betty and her family. The Quinlan's lived next door when I was a young girl and I spent many hours in her home with her before she married her husband (Choppy) and later when she was married and started a family. Betty's family included grandparents, many in-laws and children all of who were kind and generous with me and my brothers and sisters who lived next door. My sincere condolences to all of you upon the loss of Betty.
