Elizabeth Sienko Obituary
Born on February 20, 1941, in Philadelphia, Betty remained a proud lifelong resident of the city she loved. She was the daughter of Matthew and Helen Miller and grew up surrounded by the close-knit spirit of her community.
Betty was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Francis, and her son Mark. She is lovingly remembered by her children: Frank (Anna), Michelle (Jim) Martin, Liz (Gene) Kopen, Sue (Chris) Parker, and Pete (MaryLou). She also leaves behind her cherished sister Marie Eckelmeyer, twelve grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, many nieces and nephews, and sister-in-law Anna.
A devoted mother and grandmother, Betty's warmth and care were constants in the lives of those around her. Her home was a gathering place filled with laughter, love, and the unmistakable sound of a Phillies game playing in the background. An avid fan through every season, Betty's passion for the Philadelphia Phillies was legendary among family and friends.
A funeral Mass will be held at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, 819 E. Cathedral Road, on Wednesday, June 18, 2025 at 11:00 am. A viewing will be held from 9:00-11:00 in Church. In celebration of her enduring love for baseball and her favorite team, those attending are invited to wear Phillies attire.
May her memory bring comfort to all who knew and loved her.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to a charity of your choice in Betty's name.

Betty was a dear friend and Neighbor for 60+ years. Our children grew up together. We enjoyed sitting out and watching the family gatherings with the official opening of spring, with their wiffle ball games out in front of the houses. Sorry we missed officially saying goodbye to her, but she will forever be in our best memories and forever in our hearts!! Love Darlene and Andy Mulson

Betty was such a wonderful person. Growing up across the street, she was a Gr8 neighbor. I use to watch the kids every Sunday while her, Frank, Mimi & Al went bowling. I moved back home years later & bowled with her & Mimi...fun times!! My Mom enjoyed walking across the street every night to sit with Betty after my Dad passed. I so enjoyed some of those lights as well. Betty was a dear friend to my Mom & I know my Mom was there to greet her. Thoughts & prayers for all the family.
