Her life was a testament of love and devotion to her family and friends. Betty’s home was always filled with fun, food, laughter, and an abundance of love. She was the fun-loving mom and grandma everyone loved to be with. She never forgot a birthday and loved attending her grandkids’ functions. She was known for her listening ear and a giving and loving spirit.
Betty spent her career in sales, working in a bakery where her hard work and dedication were appreciated by many. Despite her busy schedule, Betty always found time for her family. She had a hand in raising a beautiful family, leaving behind a legacy that includes 70 grandkids, 65 great-grandkids, and 4 great-great-grandchildren.
