Betty will be fondly remembered as a loving wife, mother, sister, grandmother and friend to many. She loved the company of others, a chat and a sing song. She had a great devotion to Our Lady and made many trips to Our Lady's Shrine in Knock, when in good health. In recent years, due to poor health, Betty was cared for by her family and the wonderful staff of Beaufort House Nursing Home where she won the hearts and affection of the staff and residents.

May Betty's Gentle Soul Rest Peacefully In The Presence of God.
