Our wife, mother and sister, Betty, was a wonder full person and cared deeply about her family. She also was a animal lover and enjoyed the summer weather and all it entailed. She had a passion for word and jigsaw puzzels. She was a fan of the Syfy Channel, loved spending time with her grandchildren and had a fetish for tag sales. She loved her sisters very much and considered them her best friends. Cooking Sunday dinner was a highlight of her week. She will be truly missed.
