Aunt Betty, I will miss your laugh and upbeat personality. You were always the life of the party. No one could ever be in a bad mood when you were present. You may be gone from sight but never from our hearts.

Jon, Sherry and family, so sorry for your loss.
So many memories of Aunt Betty from my childhood --the memory of her and my grandmother and their contagious laughter will always make me smile.
I'm sure there must be a family party welcoming her to heaven!

Certainly one of the most upbeat persons I have ever know. Impossible not to smile and laugh while in her presence. I will always remember her as Salt of the Earth
She will be missed.

We will miss you so much, but you have left us with wonderful memories. We will remember all the laughs and all your crazy antics. You lit up a room when you entered and left everyone laughing when you exited. You were one of a kind and you will always have a place in our hearts. Rest in peace our Betty Boop. Heaven has a beautiful new Angel. ❤❤

I will always remember Betty for her caring, unconditional loving and supportive spirit. We met a very very very long time ago while I was a resident of St Edmonds Home (Summer Camp) For Handicapped Children. She and her family were volunteers. Then we attended St. Dominics Church following my adoption years later around 1980s. Little did we realize (a million years later) that wed work together at Wal Mart in Brick.. We then became neighbors almost 6 years ago. You always watched out for me when Mom wasnt around and made sure nobody tried to hurt me... Thank You For Sharing Mom with us. Sending prayers and hugs to the entire family. Rest In Peace (Until We Meet Again)
