These gatherings were filled with laughter, delicious food, and the cherished moments that she held dear.

Betty's vibrant personality extended beyond family gatherings and bowling lanes. She had an endearing affection for all things related to Betty Boop and proudly embraced her nickname "Boop." Her collection of Betty Boop memorabilia showcased her fun-loving spirit and served as a reminder of the joy she found in even the smallest pleasures in life.

Above all else, Betty will be remembered for the deep love she had for her family. She cherished every moment spent with them and relished any opportunity to bring them all together. Whether it was sharing stories around the dinner table or creating new memories during family outings – these precious moments were what mattered most to Betty.
