Words will never express the sadness of losing Mrs. Betty. She was a village Mother who took care of all the children. We know that she is at peace and watching over us with all the Village Mothers now. She will be missed but forever remembered. Thanks for sharing her with us.

Mrs. Betty will truly be missed. She was a kindred soul & truly a woman of God! I loved her fiestiness and her smile. I last saw her at St Stephen’s in Sewickley, she was still working, I asked her when she was going to retire…her reply was I’m not going anywhere until the good Lord calls me home & he called & she responded. She was like family to us. My condolences to Sandy, Linda & the entire family of this wonderful 🙏🏽 Godly woman.
Will truly miss her.

I will miss seeing Betty walking around Sewickley. She always had a kind word, was very funny & marched to her own drum. She loved her family & the Lord. She will be missed, but not forgotten.
