Betty worked for 45 years in the meat department at Riverside Market. She served as a Eucharistic Minister at St. Francis of Assisi Church, was a member of the St. Francis choir, Oremus Prayer Group, and Rosary Society for many years. Betty spent many long days baking Easter bread and nut and poppy seed rolls for Christmas and Easter at St. Francis of Assisi. She spent many years traveling with her sisters and friends, going on trips to Germany, Italy, Las Vegas, Hawaii, and 13 cruises, just to list some of the places she traveled to see and enjoy.
Betty lived her life taking care of her sisters and family and all the many friends who needed help and understanding. She will be deeply missed by us all. She is our angel now, watching over us from heaven.
