OBITUARY
Betty Louise Bodor
December 6, 1955 – January 22, 2021
Betty Louise Bodor passed away on January 22, 2021. She is survived by her beloved husband of 46 years, Ladislaus Bodor; children, Cheryl (Anthony), Nicole (Inocencio); grandchildren, Taylor, Christopher, AJ, Isabella, and Antonio.
Betty was a rare breed in a world full of selfishness. She was a guiding light whose bulb never dimmed. She was righteous and whole, giving her survivors a beacon of hope into what they strive to become. The moments are plentiful and her memories will live on for eternity.
Here a few……
A city girl who always knew a move to the suburbs would be here From city bricks, to mountain sticks, to an RV filled with cheer Tears of joy for what would become A path of travel with her family that would never be undone…..
Her love of nature was never a secret While fear of roller coasters was always real Both of which she enjoyed at one time For her grandkids sake she would deal…..
Holidays were where she shined The joy of giving was her brand Getting her fill of Fosters and Baileys over the years Even if it meant a controller slipping from her hand…..
Her nicknames gave her laughter and joy Even when the moments were severe Those unique grins and smiles will be missed Though they will be everywhere we look even as you’re not here…..
A purple rose may at one time droop A footprint in the sand may fade A perfect roll may not always be a strike But, Betty will never waver and give you life for the following day!
A private memorial is scheduled for Friday, February, 5, 2021 at Wm. Rowen Grant Funeral Home (659 Street Rd, Southampton, PA 18966) from 11:00am - 1:00pm.

I will always remember you walking up the hill in Virginia and struggling to reach the top. If we went any further we would of had to get you a scooter or even carry you.

What can I say about my mother-in-law, to be truthful I never seen her as that. She was a mother to me. Not too many people in this world could say that they have 2 mothers but I can. I guess I was one of the lucky ones. She loved all her kids and grandkids unconditionally no matter our faults.
I will always remember all of our conversations about her past and her future plans. She was so excited to pull off in her RV and head to a new camp ground or as she would call it “glamping” with style.
As I sit here and think what will I miss most of all.... probably me picking on her, then the way she looked at me and smile as she said.... “ you AH ” If you don’t know Betty, that meant “ I love you”. Trust me.... Me, Tony, and Dad heard that on a daily basis!!!
I never got a chance to let her know how much she meant to me. But until we meet again I would love to tell you:
“I love you like you were my own mother. How you took me in as one of your owe. I will be forever thankful for what you did to help me and my family and the sacrifices you made. You are truly an angel and I will always remember you until my dying breath....I love you Mom”💔

Mrs. Bodor always had such a bright soul and she really was a beautiful woman. She was so warm and welcoming at every family party. I always loved having conversation with her and she treated my family like her own. One of the funniest memories I have of her was at a New Years Eve party a couple years ago. We all sat around playing games, eating, drinking and just enjoying each other's company. When it was her time to play Wii, she got a bit excited. She went to swing her arm for her turn and the Wii remote flew out of her hand straight into her son in laws beautiful flatscreen! That was the end of that TV. She was so fun to be around and she will be missed dearly. To the Bodor and Cutillo family, we love you guys!

Wow, time really does fly. I remember Busch Gardens and the White Lightning jokes we would always make like it was yesterday. This doesn’t feel real, but the memories will never be forgotten. Love you Mom Mom.

As many people have told me, my mother was an amazing strong, beautiful woman with a big beautiful smile that loved her family to the fullest. But to me she was much more than that, she was my mother, a title that means many words. To me, my mother was a leader, a teacher, a proud caregiver, a role model, a best friend just to name a few of what her title as my mother meant to me. As a leader she managed to lead her family to their best potential. She taught us many valuable life lessons. She always cared for us and made sure we were always safe. She was my role model who I always went to for advice. But she was not only my mother, she became my best friend with an unbreakable bond.
I always looked up to her in the way she cared for my father, my sister and I, her grandkids and her son-in-laws. She loved my father like no other, he was her everything. She cherished the times she spent with him planning and traveling in their RV for their adventures. She had very special bonds with each of her kids and grandkids and the time she spent with all of us meant the world to her. She loved her son-in-laws like her own and would always be there for both of them no matter what.
The day God called her home, was the day part of me went missing. There is no preparing for this type of heartache. She was adored by her family and we will surely miss her. There will never be a day that goes by that she will not be missed by all of us. I will miss my “Good morning Sunshine” every morning before I leave for work. I will miss every aspect of her.
She not only is/was a loving wife, mother and grandmother but is now Our Angel. I know she will continue to love and watch over us. And as much as it hurts to not have her here with us, I know she is safe with God and is finally with my brother.
Mom, I will never say goodbye, this is a “See you later”, as we will all be together one day! I love you always and will forever miss you until the day I see you again!

My mother was an amazing, beautiful woman both inside & out. She not only was a proponent for her family, but her many friends as well.
Her Husband, my Father, was her rock. She absolutely adored him & always made sure he was taken care of. They enjoyed all their time together, even if it meant just being around each other watching TV. It was the simple things that made her happy.
Her children & grandchildren were her world. My sister & I had our own special bond with her. For me, she was my best friend. She & I always had our special time together from when I was a kid. Our daily game nights always included our favorite card game, 500 rummy. As I got older, we would do our daily shopping trips every weekend. As time went on they were harder and harder as sports got in the way.
Luckily, her granddaughter Taylor was able to take my place. She enjoyed their trips together, which ultimately ended up with lunch. Taylor absolutely loved her time with her & will always cherish these endless moments. Bella’s bond included watching their favorite TV shows, Christmas specials and a few funny dances together. Her grandsons Chris & AJ truly loved her, but tortured her to no end. They had special nicknames like bad luck Betty because no matter what game she would attend they would mostly lose. Let’s not forget the all-time greatest name, “White Lightning,” given based on her bright white hair & her speed. The boys loved her dearly.
Lastly, her bond with her grandson Antonio was built around special conversations only they could interpret. That’s what made them so special.
Her son in laws Tony & Ino were very special men in her eyes. Not only did they take care of her daughters, but they dropped everything for her, no matter what was needed. She considered these two as her own & from day 1 had open arms.
Her family was her universe. She was the gravity that kept us afloat. We will treasure every second we had with her and these memories will keep her alive in our hearts.

My bond with my Mother in Law was unique and one that cannot be underrated. I always knew what would set her off and loved poking fun at her with every chance I could.
Life isn’t fair sometimes, but knowing you aren’t suffering anymore puts me at ease. From our private one on ones to our special dance on wedding night, we shared some great moments together.
Not everyone is blessed with a Mother in Law who is so accepting, but you were different. No matter the circumstances, you were always there with open arms. You were a gift that kept on giving. Keep smiling down on us with that signanture grin and know you are with us every singe day. Love Always....

I’ve had so many memories of my mommom through the last almost twenty one years I’ve been so graciously given; yet this is what stuck with me most. Starting so young around six or seven years old, roaming through target around Halloween time, she popped out of nowhere with this ridiculous mask scaring me through every isle. That was just who she was; spur of the moment, spontaneous, fun and full life. Her smile brought so much joy even if she wasn’t the biggest fan of it. Though that is only one memory, it makes me laugh the most. She always said to love life to the fullest and never worry about her even though i always did; but I know she’s sitting up there at peace with Uncle Christopher smiling down and protecting all of us just as she always did. I will always cherish all the moments, laughs, and shopping trips we’ve had. I love you mommom, I’ll see you again soon. ❤️

Aunt Betty treated my Mom, Dad, brother and me like family for as long as I can remember. It wasn't the Christmas season without a visit to her Parkwood and then Churchville home for homemade cookies and laughs. She included us in every party for her kids, grandkids, etc etc and we all felt like we were part of her big, beautiful family too. Aunt Betty never forgot the important moments, such as sending my parents retirement gifts and generously gifting me my favorite appliance - The Instant Pot - for my wedding shower. She made sure she sent me many of her favorite recipes for it, including Pineapple Upside Down cake that she made me promise I would make for my Dad for Father's Day.
I could recount a million great memories about Aunt Betty and they all remind me of the same important thing - she was the sweetest, kindest soul who really treated everyone like part of the family. I am so glad to have known her for over 20 years - I only wish we had another 20!
Rest in peace, dear Aunt Betty, and know that you are fiercely missed by all! Love you xo

Betty and I have been best friends for as long as I can remember. We met when we were just 14 years old at Olney High School. She turned around and said "Hi, I'm Betty," and we were inseparable ever since. I was fortunate to have known Betty through many phases of her life from a young girl, to a wife, a mother and then a grandmother. She set the example of what a good wife, mother, grandmother and friend should be. She just loved her husband of 46 years. I remember when she met him. She confided in me and said "Laddy is definitely the one!" She was thrilled when she become pregnant with her two daughters and was such a good mother to them. Then she was blessed with five grandchildren. She was so proud of all of them. Betty was happiest when she was with her family. She enjoyed all the holidays with them, but Christmas was her favorite.
Betty and I talked about everything and anything from sharing favorite recipes to sharing our deepest secrets and fears. She was the person I would go to whenever I needed to speak to someone. She made me laugh, she was always there to help me figure things out, listen to me when I was upset, and cheer me up when I was down.
I am heartbroken that you are no longer with us. I will always remember you for the rest of my life. I will think of you when I go to the shore as that is where we took our first trip together at 18! I will remember you when I go miniature golfing as that is what we did on our first double date together. I will remember you when I see the mountains and trees as the memories of our vacation at your mountain home will come back to me. I will remember you every time I see an RV as I will think of all the places you wanted to see. Lastly, I will remember you every day because that is how much you meant to me. I am truly blessed and grateful to have been your friend for 51 years.
Godspeed to Heaven my dearest friend,
Linda and Bob Casillo

It was a privilege to have known Betty for the past 45+ years. Although we didn't see each other often in the more recent years, we never grew apart as friends. She could light up a room simply by her smile and I'll cherish the memories of all the good times we had. Keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers... Guy and Gale
