Wheeler of Middletown, her sister, Janet Caouette and her husband, George, her five beloved grandchildren, Peter, Molly, Annie, Elizabeth and Ellie and many special nieces, nephews and friends.

I just heard about Betty's passing. I had the pleasure to work with her at Kmart for a couple years. She was always so happy and smiling and could turn your frown upside down. She was also a friend to my husband. We will both miss seeing her around at Kmart! Rest in Peace, Betty!
