It was a blessing to know Betty. I knew her from her concierge days at The Village a Heritage Point. I called her the energizer bunny! She had the best heart and cared for so many residents here. She will be missed. Prayers of comfort for you all. Darla Early

I was visiting my Aunt Gemma D'Agostino at The Heritage and that's how I came to know Betty. She and Aunt Gemma hit it off right away. They were the same (short) height and laughed all the time. She will be dearly missed.

Bright and beautiful, a spirit so kind,
Elegant in heart, leaving worries behind.
Treasured memories, a life well-lived,
Through thick and thin, love has always been gifted.
Yearning for joy, your laughter a song,
Outstanding presence, where you truly belong.
Kindness you share, a light in the night,
Eternal love, shining ever so bright.

My condolences to the family. I was very blessed to have her as a friend.
