She was a very loving and caring wife and mother during her lifetime. During her children’s early years she chose to stay at home to love and nurture them. Later in her life she worked as a caregiver, providing care to those still living in their own home. Through this she met and made many special friends and was able to give them the love and the care they needed. She loved and enjoyed spoiling her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Betty enjoyed spending time with her close friends, playing bingo, shopping, and bus trips to Atlantic City and Charlestown. She will be remembered as a very loving, friendly and happy person. Although Betty will be missed by many it is comforting to know that she is at peace now. Our hearts may be filled with sorrow for losing someone we loved so much but her heart is full of joy and we should share in the joy with her as she is now reunited with the love of her life for eternity.
