Betty loved her grandchildren very much.

The family would like to extend their love and gratitude to Betty's caregivers, Jen Klose, Lisa Gavik, and Tiara Sorak, whose kindness and generosity will forever be remembered. The family also wants to acknowledge neighbors and friends Cindy Reichard, Lana Canella and Denise Ebersole who often cooked for Betty or just stopped to say hello or pray with her.
