Betty was a 1961 graduate of Lyons High School. She embarked on a five year career as a stenographer at Jeep, however, her true passion lay in the warmth of her home and the joy of her family. She raised her two wonderful sons, Tony and Brian who were her greatest pride and joy.

Betty's hobbies included nurturing both vegetable and flower gardens, where her affectionate touch yielded beautiful blooms and bountiful harvests.
