Betty M. McFadden, age 88 years of Delta, PA died at her home at 11:47 p.m. on Friday, September 18, 2020. She was the wife of Donald D. McFadden for 58 years at the time of his death on October 21, 2010.

Born on June 20, 1932 in the original town of Peach Bottom, York County, PA, she was a daughter of the late Garrison and Anna (Krick) Workman.

Betty was the local Avon Lady and was well known during her 49 year career with Avon Products. A dedicated representative who loved her job, she made many friends over the years and continued to sell Avon up until the time of her passing.

A caregiver to many people, Betty began cooking and caring for her siblings at the age of 12. Most recently, her beloved sister, Janet Shoff lived at Betty's home so Betty could care for her during Janet's battle with pancreatic cancer. Janet passed away on May 14, 2020.

Dinner theaters with her sister were a favorite. She loved her family dearly and would sit in her "prayer chair" praying for all her loved ones.
