Betty will be laid to rest next to her husband and son at Forest Cemetery. Friends may call from 1:00 PM until the time of the service on Tuesday. Although Betty had been in good health prior to her death and had not been a hospice patient, her wishes were for memorial contributions to go to Berger Hospice, 600 N. Pickaway St., Circleville, OH 43113, as a way of remembering them and the care they gave Freck during his illness.
