Elizabeth A Santoro

Betty was a member of the Ocean Christian Community Church in Toms River, NJ. There she started their first Soup Kitchen in 2006 which is still operating today. Betty’s Mission and purpose was to do the Lord’s work by feeding and clothing the less fortunate, but that wasn’t her full mission – Betty’s objective through her mission was: The saving of souls through the Gospel of Jesus Christ -

Betty also ran a food and clothing pantry for Ocean Christian. Betty could be seen driving around delivering meals throughout Seaside Heights and Toms River to families in need. She hosted a Christmas breakfast on Christmas morning for all the needy – complete with a hot breakfast, goody bags, music and fellowship. She continued to run her mission until her passing on November 5th at the age of 88.

The only thing greater than her love and devotion to the homeless community was her love and devotion to her family.

Betty is known as ‘Mimi’ by her Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren – She is survived by 4 Children- Gerard, Gina, Frank and Krista, Son -in law Ralph, 4 Grandchildren – Samantha (husband Sean), Christian (wife Kiera) , Ally (husband Mark) and Julian and 5 Great Grandchildren- Reed, Josie, Bridget, Finn and Miles -

Her courage and determination were immeasurable - She never let the weather or her health or any other struggles get in the way of her mission. She was and is an inspiration to her family and friends. She was the glue that held us all together – May she be with her Lord in Heaven and finally reunited with her husband and love, Frank (Pop).

A memorial mass will be held at a later date.
