During World War II she was a precision worker at Pratt & Whitney, East Longmeadow and Hartford, Conn. Betty attended the Methodist church, where she taught Sunday school and was a nursery attendant.

She loved life and believed in living it to the fullest. She enjoyed traveling and shopping with her daughters; and granddaughter, Sam-antha Luciano. Betty loved family picnics and gatherings. She often challenged her family to cards, Jeopardy or Trivia games. She was also an avid crossword puzzle enthusiast.
