As a loving mother-in-law Betty was always there for us. I loved her as another mother and she will be missed. Betty’s life was full and interesting. She was very successful at whatever she undertook, golf, painting, her career as a security administrator, sewing, cooking, and mostly loving her family. Hers was a life well lived and she will live on in the memories of those she touched.
As my Mom’s only surviving daughter I had the wonderful privilege of being here in Arizona with her during the last seven years. She took care of me for many years so it was a pleasure to help her when she needed it the most. She was the most loving mother a daughter could wish for ever. She will be missed by many, especially me. Now she can join her first husband, George and second husband Bill. Duke it out guys and keep on dancing!! Your loving daughter, Bonnie
Betty became my stepmother when she married my Dad, Bill Gaiser. She was better than a stepmother and she brought my dad 21 happy years after our mom died. I always loved visiting her and Dad in Fla or NJ. Such a great cook and just a special lady.
Rest in peace,Betty. Love you!!
