Betty, Boop and Aunt Boop as she was called by all her family friends and her nieces and nephews was a special person Her laughter and humor were a absolutely amazing part of her personality. She was also a incredibly kind and caring person who will be missed by all who knew her. Many prayers , thoughts and hugs are being sent your way. Mary

Aunt Boop was as big a part of my growing up as my parents were. If she wasn't making fun, or trying to straighten me out, she was consoling and counseling my mom during all my periods of mischief! There are angels that walk among us here on earth. There are angels that watch over us from above. And now there are angels that do both. Love you Aunt Boop!

I worked with Betty for many years at Upstate. She was an excellent nurse and friend. She will certainly be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends.

Rest in peace Aunt Boop! I can still hear your laugh and your response to naughty behavior (But funny) as "you turkeys!" One of my favorite memories was our trip to Cape Cod. You made us feel so special!! May you find healing in past relationships and eternal happiness! Love you!!

As a fellow resident of Connect 55 in Auburn for 18 months, I knew Betty by her smile and laugh. I am sorry I will no longer be able to share in those. My condolences to family and friends. And I hope someone loving takes care of sweet Becca.
