On January 15, 2026, our sweet mother Betty Jean LaRussa passed away into God's graces after a long illness. A faithful servant of God, Betty was 97 years old.
She is survived by many family members, including children Michael (Cathy), Stephen (Ellen) and Susan, nine grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her loving husband Anthony, her parents Rev. John Howard and Rebecca Ruth, and her seven siblings.
The family wishes to thank caregiver Silver, for her compassionate support and for brightening our mother's final days.
