Born in Marcus Hook, PA on September 1, 1928, she was a daughter of the late Joseph and Concetta (Tallucci) Lendene. Betty made her career as a manager at Hatfield's Seafood for 25 years until her retirement in 1996.
Deep in her faith, Betty was a devoted member of St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church. She also enjoyed being a member of several senior centers, including Post Cana in Talleyville, and the former New Castle Moose Lodge. In her spare time, Betty loved going out dancing. She could often be found in her kitchen, cooking or baking a delicious recipe for her friends and family. Betty will always be remembered for her remarkable work ethic. She was loved and adored by everyone who knew her.
In addition to her parents, Betty was preceded in death by her husband, Lewis J. Lepore, Sr.; son, James E. Lepore; grandson, James R. Lepore; companion, Joseph Woerner; and 4 sisters and 1 brother. She is survived by her children, Lucy Elliott of Parkersburg, WV, Steven Lepore of Philadelphia, PA, and Lewis "Joe" Lepore, Jr. (Bonnie) of Sugar Land, TX; sister, Lucy Blevins of Rehoboth Beach; daughters-in-law, Linda Fisher of Wilmington and Janice Adams of Bear; 15 grandchildren; 15 great-grandchildren; and 6 great-great-grandchildren.
