Betty was a classmate of mine at St Joseph's Grade School (When I lived on Franklin, we usually walked home together in a group dropping each classmate off at their stop.)
Betty was always a good friend and a kind person, she will be missed.

Betty and I were very close we ran around together in High school. I always remember when we went to Lincoln Park and she was going to teach me how to ice skate. She finally gave up on me I was on the ice until she got help from Paul Keefner and they got me to the bond fire. I had weak ankles and I guess a led butt, but all in all we had a good time. She is sadly missed.
