She had worked at the former Keystone Nightwear company in Reinholds and loved raising and caring for her family.

Betty was a faithful member of St. John's Center UCC, East Earl, for over 20 years, prior she was a member at Swamp UCC, Reinholds. Her fun-loving nickname, 'Cracker', given by her grandchildren, truly depicts her playful and high-spirited manner. Her caring touch and generosity will forever be missed.
