The Roaring 1920’s, President Woodrow Wilson in 1921, The Stock Market crash of 1921 and again in
1987, World War II, The Pearl Harbor attack by Japan in 1941, United States declaring war on Japan on
December 08, 1941 and so much more… Betty enjoyed the Indiana Roof Ballroom when she was in her
20’s swimming at Westlake Beach Club and taking the kids to the Riverside Amusement Park during the
1950’s and 1960’s. He favorite celebrities where some of the greats like Frank Sinatra, Doris Day, Betty
Grable, Lana Turner and of course Elvis Presley. Our entire family is so blessed and grateful for the
wonderful memories we share, and the love and support Betty gave to all of us.
We Miss you, May God bless you and keep you in his care.
