Betty was a friend and caring person who helped many and will be missed by many more. She’d help anyone in need, but would never ask for anything in return. She’d always make people laugh whiling going out of her way to help others.

Betty was born in 1934 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. She was raised in an orphanage while she cared for the elderly. Betty was devoted to the Catholic religion and later became a Catholic Nun. Betty was an amazing seamstress and created wedding dresses and full bridal party attire from a pattern. She loved her family, especially her grandchildren and her beloved rescue dog, Lady.
