Betsy is survived by her devoted husband, Mike; her children, Michael and Kellie (Anthony); her sister, Joanne; and her cherished grandchildren, Gianna, Michael, Steven, Izzy, and Lexie. She is also survived by extended family, including her brothers- and sisters-in-law, and many nieces and nephews who loved her dearly.
Betsy will be remembered for her kindness, humor, and unwavering love for her family. She will be deeply missed and forever in the hearts of all who knew her.
