Betsy was full of life with; she had a positive outlook on life and was always the life of the party. She never knew a stranger, had a heart of gold and enjoyed being surrounded by her family and many friends. Sunday dinners at Betsy’s was an important time where Betsy could spend time with her loving family and laugh for hours while enjoying everyone’s company. She was a jokester with a laugh that would fill the room and was contagious to all who were around her. Laughter continued when she would sing along to songs that came onto the radio and made her own version of karaoke for all to enjoy.
Crafting, gardening, and shopping were all enjoyments of hers. However, family meant the world to Betsy; she was a positive force and will be deeply missed by her adoring family and countless friends. Her laughter and the boundless memories will last forever in all the hearts that she touched in many ways.
