Following High School graduation, she attended Cosmetology School in Cleveland for a year. She owned and operated Betty's Beauty Shop for more than 60 years. Getting your hair done at Betty's Beauty Shop included being served coffee, pastries and dessert at bargain prices. It was all about the the people and having fun doing it.

She loved politics and enjoyed the "political theater" leading to the elections. She served for many years as the Democratic Precinct Committee Chairperson.

A travel highlight happened for her in 2002 when her children took her to Italy for her 80th birthday. She was able to visit the Church her parents married and visited with many family members from Colle Corvino, Italy. She enjoyed crocheting afghans for family and friends, especially when new arrivals were expected
She is survived by her devoted son, Frank J. (Michele) Cimorelli, of Prescott, Arizona, and loving grandson, Christopher Cimorelli, of Scottsdale, Arizona.
