To my cousin "The Wild Irish Rose" with whom I spent many playful days together as children, exciting adventures in our teenage years, and our adults years of life experiences. Her love of life and laughter will be, forever in all our hearts!! Until we meet again, may GOD speed you home. At peace forever Love Linda.
I still remember the fun I had with Betty when she came into the Dental Office. How she made me laugh! I’ve been retired over twenty years now, but I can still see her face and hear her voice. My condolences to Dave and the family. RIP Betty. ♥️
What a fun loving woman. I knew Betty in two different worlds, an extended family connection and through her teaching career at Jamesville Dewitt. Both those world share her humor and love of life.
My sincere condolences to her family and friends.
Please accept the most heartfelt sympathies of Le Moyne College. We hope the love and memories you will forever hold in your heart bring you peace and comfort during this difficult time.
Betty was always the one to make us laugh at JDMS! She was always smiling and making everyone's day. Working with her was a daily pleasure.
Awww.....Betty, you added so much life to my Spanish teaching career at J-DMS. Always supportive. Always quick with a one-liner. Always a smile. I loved visiting your class each year to help with your introduction to "La Bamba." Good stuff, lady. You are one of the good ones....I hope Heaven is ready for you!!! Godspeed, my friend.
I am so sorry for your loss. Betty and I went to school together at JD. We also worked together at the middle school. Nancy Ferrante
Betty and I were close friends in high school and I'm saddened to see her passing. She knew both my boys in the middle school and I have fond memories of her. May she rest peace . My felt heart sympathies to the family.
I have countless memories of my Aunt Betty. When I was younger she was a huge part of my life and I often felt we were a lot alike. I remember her smile and laughter and the sparkle in her eye when she would joke with you. Family day trips, holidays, and summers at camp all hold memories with Aunt Betty. As families do, over the years we were not in direct contact with each other but she was thought of often. I am so grateful I was able to see her in the summer of 2019 if had been a long time coming, even more so I am glad my kids got to spend time with her so they can remember her too.
Betty was a great teacher, great leader, and a great person. Tom Muench
