Mary E. "Betty" Stapleton

We've lost one of the happiest and devout mothers of all times. There was never a time that she did not smile. Her laugh was one of a kind. Memories of "Betty" and her beautiful family will always hold the fondest of memories. I wish the family solace, peace, and understanding at this time of sorrow. We hold the family in our prayers.

To the entire Stapleton Family,

Aunt Betty was such a Loving Happy Lady, We should all take lessons from her. She will be greatly missed. I always enjoyed seeing Aunt Betty and Uncle George at Grandma and Grandpa Donahue's House. It puts my heart at peace to know that Grandma,Grandpa Aunt Helen, Aunt Betty and Uncle George are all in Heaven together again, enjoying a Manhatten! God Bless your family.

To all the Stapleton family, my most sincere condolences to you all. Your Mom was a great lady, stay strong and enjoy all the memories.
Warm and sincere wishes to you all.

Dear Stapleton Family:

Deepest condolences on the passing of your mother. May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Dear Stapleton Family,

We were saddened to hear of Betty's passing.
During times like this all you can do is hang on to your memories, and there are so many good ones, I've spent the last few days thinking of many of them.
Betty and Rosemary are up in heaven enjoying a whiskey sour looking down on all of us agreeing that they did a darn good job, which they sure did.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you over these next difficult days and beyond,

I loved your mom, she was the best. My favorite childhood memories took place at your house. Running around the bunk room,watching TV in the den,and doing cannon balls off the diving board. My thoughts are with you all.

Love,
Mary Ann

Mike - I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. I'm sure she is pleased as can be with all the family gathered together this weekend. I'm glad to have known her...a kind and loving lady, interested in so many things. My thoughts are with you, Brett and Maureen, and all your brothers and sisters, in-laws, and their children.

"Perhaps they are not stars,but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy."
She raised an exceptional family, I'm sure it was her greatest acomplishment.
God bless her memory. She was a beautiful woman.
