							Bette’s passion was her family and 
							dear friends. She loved being an active member of 
							her church, walking, cooking, baking, entertaining 
							at her home, playing Pinocle, traveling and spending 
							time with her loving family, who will miss her 
							dearly. One of her greatest joys was spending time 
							with her grandchildren, Abi and Alex and watching 
							them grow.
 Known for her kindness, grace, gentle spirit and 
							easy smile, Bette will truly leave a hole in the 
							hearts of all those who knew her.
 
 A memorial service will be scheduled when Covid 
							subsides in the spring.
