Betty Lou was born April 15, 1931, in Fairmont, West Virginia as a coal miner’s daughter, and was very proud of her Mountaineer heritage. She was a Drum-Major in high school leading the Mannington “Big Green” Band. She was “Miss Mannington” and competed in the Miss West Virginia Beauty Pageant where she achieved runner-up recognition. She married her high school sweetheart, Silvio Roberty, and the two built their lives and family together in Penn Hills, PA. She enjoyed cooking and maintaining a loving home where her family could gather.
