In her leisure, Betty enjoyed sewing quilts for family and friends, cooking, playing cribbage, going to the casino, and going to her son’s baseball games. She was known for her famous baked beans, which she often baked for family events and shared with friends. Betty was a member of St. Peter Cathedral.
