She is deeply mourned by her sister Margaret Pennings of Fond du Lac, WI, and brother; Sam Schuppe of Chicago, and numerous nieces and nephews.

She was one of seven siblings, a tightly knit group who bonded lovingly throughout life, and she never stopped missing Fred, Anne, Martha and Marie. A talented seamstress and needle worker, Betty kept her daughters well-dressed and made display garments for the Cloth World store. She later worked at Sam’s Club. She was a member of Community United Methodist Church in Daytona Beach more for than 30 years. Her friends will remember her as a quiet woman with a mischievous streak who loved April Fool’s pranks. Her neighbors cheered her on fitness walks around the neighborhood, especially after cane or walker was needed.
