Betty was generous and creative, knitting afghans for her family members and hats and mittens for the less fortunate. She was always willing to sew a costume for her granddaughters’ school events and Halloween. To the family, Betty was known for her delicious dinners. For dessert, we enjoyed her freshly bakes pies and her personal favorite, blackberry wine cake.
