Betty Jo was a loving mother and grandmother who enjoyed spending time with her family and friends. She played a vital role in the upbringing of all of her family members and truly was the anchor of our family. She lived her life with love and traveled coast to coast, spreading love, laughter, and positivity wherever she went. When she wasn’t spending time with her loved ones, you could find Betty Jo playing the slots at the casino, watching wrestling, completing a word search, creating pottery, going garage sale hopping, gardening, canning, crocheting or indulging in a chocolate molten cake.

A gathering of family and friends will be held Wednesday, April 10, 2024 at 1:00 PM followed by a celebration of life at 2:00 PM at The Life Event Center At Florida Memorial. (5950 S US Highway 1, Rockledge, FL 32955)
