Betty was a wonderful, dedicated mother and grandmother. She looked forward to our family vacation to Florida and going on cruises. She loved and cherished her time with her grandchildren, Kyle and Domenica. She loved to read, listen to music, play games, work crossword puzzles, play on her iPad, and enjoy the beauty of her flowers. Betty was a woman of faith. She made many friends over the years and kept them for a lifetime.
