Betty worked for her Dad, who had started the Herb Fitzgerald Co. in 1946, and was the Secretary/Treasurer until her retirement.

I have very fond memories of Betty. My mother worked for Betty and we would go over to Betty's apartment and she would make spaghetti for dinner and give us soda in little animal cups that had straws. I remember playing all kinds of games including Old Maid, Memory, Sorry, and many more. I miss those days. She was always so sweet and loving to us as if we were her own family. She will always have a place in my heart also!

Jim, Marge, Mike and families,
You are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Betty was a wonderful lady. I remember her for her wit, smile, wicked card playing and big heart. The times I visited her in her apt. and when she came to our house we always had a great time. Rosie loved the story about their ride in a cab when they were in Germany visiting Steve. At one point during the ride Betty ended up on the floor of the cab because they were laughing, laughing because they were afraid.Apparently the drivers in Germany apparently aren't the best!
I wish I could be with you to celebrate Betty's life. Remember all the wonderful memories you have had with her. Love, Janie
