Betty was a loving wife and mother.  She helped Bob with the farming in her younger years.  Her family was her life.  She enjoyed cooking and baking.  Her most favorite times were when any holiday came around and it gave a reason to call a family get together.  They would congregate in the back yard under the tree and have a campfire/cookout.  She was a member of Mt. Nittany United Methodist Church in Lemont.  In her spare time, Betty enjoyed jigsaw puzzles and doing embroidery.  Betty will be missed, but her family will always remember her legacy of love.

A visitation for family and friends will be held from 9-10:30 am on Saturday, November 12th at the St. James United Methodist Church in Coburn, with the funeral to follow at 10:30 with Pastor Chris Lutz officiating.  Betty will be laid to rest in Fairview West Cemetery in Millheim.  Contributions in Betty’s memory may be given to Centre Crossing Hospice, 2437 Commercial Blvd. #6, State College, PA 16801 or to St. James UMC, Po Box 90, Coburn, PA. 16832.
