A beautiful picture of Betty. She always looked like a million dollars. She and Frank will be missed by everyone that knew them. Both were always willing to help anyone. Loved baking the shower, wedding and Christmas cookies with Betty. Also, loved making sauce, homemade raviolis and pasta too. Frank always helped when we made the raviolis. Appreciated all they did for us! Oh can’t forget all the shoe and clothing shopping we did together. So much fun!
Our dear “Aunt B”, what a truly beautiful person, both inside and out. Having lived two doors away, having grown up there are countless memories. We probably spent as much time at her home, as we did our own. She and my Mom were very close, and did a lot to together from shopping, going out for donuts or tacos each weekend. My fond memories will be spending time on her front porch, eating Nestle Crunch bars, or having some ice cream together from the confectionary down the street. She would also ask me to go to her bowling league; so as not to drive home alone. So much packed into those precious times together. I miss you already, but know you are now in eternity with your beloved husband and my Uncle Frank. Be in His warmth and comfort, forever. Love You, Rose
My memories of My sweet cousin, Betty, began when Frankie announced he was getting married! The shower, baby shower and holiday gatherings were all at Aunt Lena’s, always with tons of family busying about, and she and Frank were always there. She was the love of his life and she his. They were blessed to have had as many years shared together, and now they share eternity, never to be separated again. We will miss them both, terribly! Love, prayers and sympathy go out to Andrew and all the family during this difficult time. RIP, Betty, we will miss you down here.💔🙏💔🙏💔🙏
I always remember Betty as being so beautiful inside and out. Her heart was bigger than life. She was so sweet and loving to my mother and siblings. She always kind of lit up when seeing us at gatherings. Oh, and her baking skills were amazing. At Christmas time she would bake thousands of cookies that looked just like they came from a bakery only to give most of them away. I’ll never forget her. May her soul rest in peace…🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
So sorry to hear of Betty’s passing. She and Frank were wonderful neighbors. Always saying hi and wanting to talk. A lot has happened this summer. First they moved to an assisted living facility, then Frank passed and now Betty. I will truly miss them both.
I read the obits every day and never saw their names. I only knew of their passing by looking them up online. A great kind and caring couple.
