Betty was my mother's first cousin. They both had approx. 56 first cousins. They were close friends for their lifetimes and I believe they were favorite cousins. Mom babysat for Betty when she was a preschooler and often attended the same school. They spent summer vacations together.Their friendship continued after they were married and raising families.They were both excellent cooks and bakers.They enjoyed a common hobby of cooking; constantly sharing recipes, and testing them that day or the next.In Mom's later years Betty was her caregiver on week days. They both seemed quite happy about the arrangement
Betty enjoyed being involved in social organizations; she shared her energetic enthusiasm; and participated to the fullest.
She raised three successful sons and loved them dearly as well as their wives and grands,great grands and great great grands. She knew the birthdays of her family and beyond. She had an excellent memory especially for numbers.
Her life shinned on all she knew. Saint Peter will no doubt give her a speedy green light.
