Betty will be remembered as a loving, caring, and extremely proud mother and grandmother. She never missed an opportunity to talk about her grandchildren. She was a die-hard supporter of her grandchildren's events, and fiercely competitive as a she cheered them on. She was known by many loving names including, Grandma Betty, G, GiGi, Gert, G Unit, Grandma Half Toe, Monique, MA, and Betty Boop.
Conversations with Mom and Grandma always involved coffee. She taught us the importance of coffee from a very young age… maybe too young.
Mom was a hard worker with a deep desire to learn, whether she was googling on her blackberry, operating her Wii game, or doing home repairs. She always had the tenacity to find a solution. She was always up for a fun adventure and waiting for the next opportunity.
