Betty deeply loved her family, friends, church, and was devoted to The Blessed Mother by her deep faith. She dedicated time every day to pray for those who needed the Lord’s attention. Betty enjoyed bowling, dominoes, pitch, traveling, picnics, flowers, Manhattans, cooking meals and baking for celebrations. Her most notable kids meal was The Saturday Night Special: creamed chipped beef and she also made The Best crab cakes. Betty was an avid follower and fan of The Baltimore Orioles.
