Born Jan. 25, 1934, in Matoaca, Va., she was the daughter of Edwin E. and Marjorie Perkins Long. On Nov. 27, 1952, she married Robert Klesa, who passed away July 19, 1954. On July 23, 1955, she married James Plotts, who survives her.
Betty was a graduate of Coudersport High School. In 1952 she worked as a phone operator for Bell Telephone.
Betty was a very devoted church member. She attended Coudersport Alliance Church and Port Allegany Alliance Church. She taught Sunday school for many years.
Surviving in addition to her husband are two sons, James Kenny (Susan) Klesa and Stephen (Judy) Plotts; seven grandchildren, James R.

In addition to her first husband, Robert Klesa, Betty was predeceased by her parents, Edwin E. and Marjorie Long; a sister, Lucy Gould; and a grandson, Jonathan Goerner.
Betty was a vibrant, loving woman. She brought a smile to all those around her. She loved spending time with family and friends. She loved everything from going on vacations, picnics and campfires to a simple visit with a cup of coffee. It didn't matter what she was doing, she found joy in everything she did. She loved having fun! She lived an amazing life and the world will not be the same without her!
