Betty and my mother were first cousins and were very close while growing up in Phoenix. Betty lived a good, helpful and honorable life. We will remember her fondly and we know she is in Heaven.

Aunt Betty is survived by many nieces and nephews. Sadly, she was the last survivor of my dad’s sibling–another era has passed.
