She worked there until it was sold, and was currently processing student loans for Xerox Corporation. Betty was mom and grandma to her children and grandchildren and their many, many friends. She was always happy to open her home and create a spread of food for anyone her family would invite to family functions. Betty was preceded in death by her parents and her brother Cecil R.
