The Coleman family are so sorry to learn of Betty's passing. She was very close with Pauline (our mom). We all were blessed to know Betty, and have her attend, cater, make cakes for so many events during the years. She has been missed while living in MA. Mom passed during the late summer. But we can imagine them in heaven catching up on all of the conversations they were not able to have as mom declined.

Family was very important to Betty. We all heard plenty of stories about everyone in her family. I can see her wearing her navy coat in my memories. All who had the pleasure of knowing Betty were truly blessed.
