Betty will be remembered as a loving wife, mother, and sister who put the needs of others above those of her own. Even on the day of her death, her family lovingly arranged for Betty’s organs to be donated to share the gift of life with others whose lives were in danger of being lost.

Betty remembered everyone and kept in touch with her family and friends regularly – she will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
