Betty has left behind a legacy of love, and devotion to her family. She was a devoted mother to her 2 children, James and Tammy as well as her cherished grandchildren: Evan, Jesse, Nicole, Natasha and Chase.
Betty was known for her generosity and tireless energy. Spending her time gardening as well as maintaining her yard. She looked so forward to spring, to start planting her flowers and small garden.
