Betty was the beloved aunt of numerous nieces and nephews and as such, being the youngest of her many siblings, Betty was the default babysitter for a number of her siblings children. Aunt Betty was loving and fun but you did not test her. Betty enjoyed the many family get-togethers and holidays held throughout each year and was sure to provide humorous thoughts and commentary. She especially loved the annual sibling and in-law Christmas parties that were rotated each year by the various siblings and the Christmas song and hymns sing-a-longs.
Betty worked for various manufacturing/assembly corporations and in retirement worked assisting and bus driving seniors to and from appointments and shopping. Betty was a loyal friend and was noted by friends and family for her quick wit and sassiness. She was a lover of animals, large convertibles, and the beach, especially in Maine and Revere Beach in Massachusetts. She thoroughly enjoyed spontaneously singing old tunes.She will be greatly missed.
