Betty Jeanne DelPlace

Betty was born August 24, 1955 in Miami Beach, FL. To Peter and Dorothy Andrews.

She worked more than 20 years in the mortgage business as a loan processor for companies such as Bank of America, Pulte Homes, Aegis Mortgage Corp. and First Nationwide.

For relaxation, she loved the beach and bowling (her 247 was the high score for the women’s league one year.) She also enjoyed listening to a variety of music from Carole King, Carly Simon and Tears for Fears to Adele, Il Volo and Josh Groban. She went to many concerts and was also an avid movie buff who was very knowledgeable about those in the industry. She most enjoyed traveling to Orlando to go to Disney World, Sea World and Universal Studios, and to Tampa Busch Gardens and Adventure Island. For more than a dozen years she visited these theme parks several times each year.
