Betty Joyce (Miller) Yorgey, age 88 of Williamston, Michigan, passed away on May 9, 2021. She was born on June 28, 1932 in Slatington, Pennsylvania to Arthur L. and Helen M. Miller. She married Roger Yorgey in November 1953 and they enjoyed 54 years together until his passing in 2007.
Betty is survived by her children Robyne (Timothy) Marsteller, SGM Roger Yorgey II, Lori (Philip) Sierzega, and Lynda Cowes; her grandchildren, Marcus and Norman Sattler, Roger Yorgey III, Amy and Samuel Sierzega, Stephanie Shapiro; her twin sister Burdelle Kern, brother Arthur Miller, and many nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her parents, her loving husband, her sisters Dorothy Miller, Barbara Hughes, Beverly Miller, and Bonnie Jacobs and granddaughter Melissa Yorgey.
After graduating from Slatington High School, Betty worked in both bookkeeping and retail sales; however, her most treasured job was that of a loving wife, mother and grandmother.
Betty’s home was a gathering place for her family and friends. She enjoyed sharing meals and playing cards and board games. She was called “second Mom” or “Nana” to many. She will be remembered as a kind, sweet, loving, and caring person that greeted everyone with a smile.
Betty will be greatly missed by her family and friends.
