Difficult to believe it has been 12 years since you have been gone. Happy you and Pat joined us here at the Orchard Retirement Community when you moved out of the city. Remembering all our fun adventures since meeting in 1959. Miss you very much, dear friend, but know you and Patrick are enjoying heavenly peace. Until we meet again, Lori Cheli

We will miss you Betty as you were the best, always loving and nurturing to your family and treating the rest of us like family. Pa-Ma-Kid means Family and you will always be remembered as the Mother of our Pamakid Family. May we always continue on the path to better health that you blazed for us. Catholics believe all good people who go to Heaven are Saints. St. Betty, patron saint of Pamakid Runners pray for us.

May you rest in peace, dear Betty. From the time I met you in 1959 until now we have always been such close friends. I will never forget all the fun we had while our children were little...or we thought it was fun. Love you very much and my love to all of your family. All of you are in my prayers. Much love, Lorraine aka Lori.

Pat & Cunneen Family: So very sorry to hear of the passing of Betty. As a past Bay Area runner and member of Pamakids, I find that I cannot think of Betty without visualizing her trademark: a great BIG smile! She was truly a treasure! May your many, many fond memories of Betty see you through this difficult time.
