Betty was born in Dansville, NY on June 17, 1929, the daughter of the late Nelson and Gretchen (Smith) Martin. Betty was a well-known waitress at the Hilltop Inn in Penn Yan for twenty plus years until its closing. She then went on to work at Wegmans in Geneva for eleven years before retiring to become a full time grandmother. She was a member of the Penn Yan Moose Club. Betty loved life, she loved people and loved to entertain; she brought the party wherever she went. She always had a cup of cheer and a smile.
Betty is survived by her children, Rod (Carol) and Susan (Eddie) Sandas both of Fallbrook, CA, Greg (Robin) and Tim, of Penn Yan; five grandchildren, Kristen (Stuart) Barnes, James (Diane), Gregory (Allie), Matthew, and Molly; two step grandsons, Matthew (Andrea) Karczewski and Michael (Nikki) Karczewski; and great grandson, Greyson. In addition to her parents, Betty was predeceased by her sister, Delores Karas and her two brothers, Robert Martin and Nelson Martin, JR.
A gathering celebrating her life will be held from 4 pm to 7 pm on Thursday, March 26, 2015 at the Townsend-Wood Funeral Chapel, 201 E. Elm St., Penn Yan, NY 14527. In lieu of flowers donations may be made in Betty’s memory to Ontario-Yates Hospice, 756 Pre Emption Rd., Geneva, NY 14456.
