She was a wonderful mom who took loving, exceptional care of her family. She helped with the care of her grandchildren and was a comfort to her loving husband in his greatest time of need. Betty was a member of Mary Mother of God Parish, Corpus Christi site. She had a friendly word for everyone she met, and she went by "Gram" to many.
