Mr and Mrs Cuniberti lived across the street from us growing up. We spent time playing in their yard and summers playing with there grandchildren. I will never forget the kindness Mrs Cuniberti showed myself, my brother and my sister back on Dublin Rd. So glad she lived such a long and beautiful life!

Betty was a friend as her sister-in-law Fran Cuniberti was a sorority sister of mine at Ohio state University and Betty and I had great conversations about family and the times in which we live. The V&V Club was a great coordination for us. She is missed as a wonderful true lady.
