A beacon of strength and dedication, she was a true homemaker, tirelessly pouring her love into creating a warm and welcoming home for her family. Her kitchen, the heart of her abode, was filled with laughter, delicious aromas, and the comforting embrace of her love. Betty's spirit was enlivened by her unwavering devotion to her Catholic faith. Actively involved in her community, she found solace and inspiration through her participation in the St. Gregory Catholic Church. Her unwavering faith guided her every step, filling her days with love, forgiveness, and compassion. Beyond her roles as a mother and a devout Catholic, Betty had a spirit of adventure and joy. She found solace and companionship in collecting angels, their delicate forms serving as a reflection of her serene and nurturing nature. She delighted in games of bingo, cards, and video poker. While she may no longer be with us in physical form, her memory will forever dance through our lives, inspiring us to cherish our loved ones, embrace laughter, and hold tight to our faith. The family would like to thank The Homestead Assisted Living Home and Haydel Memorial Hospice for their amazing care and compassion.
