Betty was a loving, humble woman. She was an incredibly talented artist and loved painting. She spent hours in her garden, tending to her vegetables and flowers. Betty was an excellent baker and cook, and her family looked forward to her meals and treats. She and her family loved spending time together at the family cottage on Lake Shafer, chatting by the water, fishing, playing cards and croquet.  Betty enjoyed travel after her retirement and took memorable trips to London, Vienna, St. Johns, the Bahamas, the Canadian Rockies, Hawaii, and many other destinations across the U.S.  She had a great sense of humor and loved to laugh.
