In October of 1954 Betty was united in marriage to Roman Cieslinski and they enjoyed 62 years together before his passing on April 25, 2016. They did not have children but were the favorite aunt & uncle to all the nieces and nephews. Betty loved their pets – Taffy the Boxer and the three Schnauzers, Mitzi #1, #2, & #3.
Betty was known for her classy look and zesty taste in clothes. She looked forward to getting her hair done and nails polished.
