A self taught baker, Betty became known as "The Town Baker" in Westminster where she spent over 30 years crafting wedding cakes, birthday cakes and all sorts of baked goods that brought joy to so many. Betty was also a skilled crocheter, loved playing cards, and adored many beloved dogs over the years.
