So the story goes (Betty's favorite way to start a sentence)…… Betty Jean Delaney, of Auburn Hills, Michigan passed away Wednesday April 8, 2026, at the age of 73.

Betty was born the daughter of Charles and Donna (Lennox) Bonham in Isabella County, Michigan on July 6, 1952. Betty attended Marion High School, class of 1970, and raised her family in Oakland County. She had a career as a seamstress for Ford Motor Company.

Betty loved her family, especially her grandchildren. She enjoyed nature, being outdoors and in earlier years traveling around the Midwest camping with her family, stopping at every lighthouse. Betty was creative with sewing and interior design. She would do anything to take care of her family.

Betty is survived by her children Colleen (Julius) Heilman, Charles (Dana) Noell, and Christopher (Nichole) Noell; grand-children Chaz (Canielle) Robbins, Robert Wisser, Alyza and Andrew Palozzola, Cameron, Brandi, and Cade Noell, and Juliana (Adam) Miller; great-grandchildren Damian, Henry, Hayden, Amari, and Blakely; siblings Wesley (Nancy) Huntley, Larry (Terri) Bonham and Bonnie (Larry) Pittaway; sisters-in-law Jenalle Huntley and Julie Bonham; brothers-in-law Floyd Brooks and Gary Wooll; as well as many nieces and nephews.

Betty’s family will hold a private service up-north at a later date….. But it’s none of my business! (Betty's favorite way to end a sentence)
