Betty enjoyed reading, crocheting, travelling, dining out and shopping, especially for any bargains!  Family was important too; Betty loved family gatherings and looked forward to the annual Big Christmas Party.  Some of her family members lovingly referred to her as "Betty-Boop."  Betty was a caring and kind soul; she was very generous and giving to family as well as donating to many charities.  She also volunteered for a while, counting and recording the weekly offerings at Sacred Heart Church in Middleborough.  Betty's family loved her, and she will be missed.
