Denise Margaret Betoski, age 82 of Chapin, SC, formerly of Hillman, MI, passed away peacefully on March 21, 2023 at home surrounded by her loved ones. She was a caring wife, mother, grandmother, sister, friend and devout Catholic.

Denise was born in Detroit, MI on September 12, 1940 to Cyril (Curley) and Ada (Shields) Hubert. She graduated from Hillman High School (Salutatorian) and received an Associates in Accounting degree from Saginaw Valley Business Institute.

Denise was married to her loving husband of 61 years, Edwin Betoski. They were married on October 7, 1961 at St Mary’s Catholic Church in Alpena, MI. They began their married life together in Saginaw, MI then moved to Hillman, MI in 1962 where they raised their family in a lovely home on Long Lake. Denise was a member of the Hillman School Board of Education and the St. Augustine Catholic Church St. Vincent DePaul Society. In 1983, Edwin and Denise moved to Clemson, SC then to Irmo, SC and lived there until 2006. From 2006-2016, they lived in Sevierville, TN at which time the couple lost everything in a catastrophic forest fire. For the past 7 years, they have called Chapin, SC their home.

Denise was a proud Broker/Owner of Century 21 franchises in Hillman, Atlanta and Lewiston for many years while residing in Hillman.
