She worked many years as a Manager Dinner Night Club, Mohawk Grill in German Village, Don’s Bakery & Berwick Plaza Bakery and Tom & Mary’s. Her best quality was her cooking. There was no better Fried Chicken in the world to us. Betty enjoyed camping, scuba diving, boating and being at Buckeye Lake. After buying the farm she became the canning queen of all their home grown foods. She was in the CB Club and her name was “Westside Redhead”. Betty enjoyed Montavoni. Herb Albert & Tiajuana Brass and Elvis. Loved to dance. Her biggest asset was her gorgeous red hair that she always prided herself in looking good. She didn’t have an elaborate life but she left us with so many memories. Special thanks to Kindred at Home Hospice Care. We were truly blessed with their caring hearts. Our local fire department who came to our rescue several times in the past year. She called them her “Chicago Fire” men. Honoring her wishes, cremation will take place. A private family memorial service will take place at a later date in the spring. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Kindred Hospice, 540 Officenter Pl. #100, Columbus, OH 43230 in Betty’s memory.
