Betty was a devoted mother to her children, who adored her sense of humor, her kind and loving nature, and her organized and well run household.

Her family treasured her extraordinary Thanksgiving and Christmas turkey dinners, which she prepared for over 60 years.
Betty spent many years serving on the Fort Wayne Philharmonic Women's Committee. She enjoyed spending summers at Lake Wawasee with her family as well as gardening, sewing, knitting, and reading. She was friendly, gracious, and well-liked by all. She will be dearly missed.
