She was the beloved wife of 72 years and a devoted mother to Linda (Stuart) Simms, Laurie (George) Rockwell, Lisa (Dennis) Smith, and William (Robin) Rose. Betty was most proud of her children and cherished by her twelve grandchildren and her fourteen great-grandchildren.
She is also survived by her loving brother and sister-in-law, Warren and Carol Dyer, and her dear sister, Joan Aaron.
Betty had a gift for lighting up any room with her humor and warmth. She was known for her encouraging words and for making others feel valued and loved.
She is already dearly missed by her family and all who knew her.
