Betty was very close to all Holy Family friends. I will also ways remember Betty from the day my Mom had lung cancer surgery and Betty saw me in waiting room and she got information as to surgery and looked after Mom the several days in Parkway Hospital.
Parish Renewal brought a lot of parishioners together that has lasted many years.
God bless you Betty until we meet again in our Fathers home.
Love Carol & Bob Bourdon

She always made my son and I feel welcome and always invited us to family events. She never complained about pain or discomfort, as she made sure everyone else was comfortable. I will miss her friendly smile and her selfless attitude of love towards everyone. It has been a privilege to have known her. I clearly see her legacy of love alive in her children and grandchildren.

Betty and I worked together for several years at Parkway but our communication strengthened after we both left. We would share emails and her emails and faith got me through some tough life changes. I will always remember her fondly. You will be missed, lady…. rest in peace 🙏🦋?

Betty was an amazing, caring woman. She was always there for my family and I will never forget her for that. Even in her most difficult times she still was helping others. My prayers are with all of the family as they have been there for Betty always. I would drive by the house and see many times the family all visiting out side with Betty. God bless you all and I know all those who have past before Betty are welcoming her with open arms.
Lovingly,
Gayle Becerra and girls
