Betty was a wonderful, caring and nurturing mother to her three children.  "Mimi" adored and always smiled while talking about her grandchildren and great grandchildren.  She loved to garden and truly had a green thumb along with being a great cook. She loved the beach and travelling to many great destinations around the world with her husband Ralph.  Betty also enjoyed attending concerts and plays with cherished friends.  Anyone who knew her can attest she was an avid Bridge player for most of her life.  She belonged to many Bridge clubs over the years and formed friendships with these loving and wonderful ladies.  She will be truly missed by these ladies and everyone she ever met.  There is a hole in the hearts of those who knew her as "Mimi".
