Betty, affectionately known as Gigi, was a loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, she was a beautiful soul who would help anyone. She was the heart of our family. She raised 6 children in a happy and loving home to be independent and thoughtful adults. As a grandmother she was the "fun grandma," she hosted magical tea parties, sleep overs and spoiled them with love and affection. Her radiant smile lit up any room she entered. She lived life to the fullest and especially loved spending time with her family and friends. Although Betty is gone, she will forever live in the hearts of everyone she touched.
