Betty loved life and brought joy to so many friends and friends. She particularly enjoyed shopping, jewelry, and all things Disney. Her best friend was Cinderella.

Betty enjoyed celebrating her birthday with family and friends at Tuscora Park Pavillion. She made her First Communion on May 9, 1965, at St. John’s Villa in Carrollton, Ohio, and celebrated each year on that anniversary by wearing her white veil in honor of that happy occasion.

Preceding Betty in death are her parents and a nephew, Scott Dalpiaz; and her good friend and brother-in-law, Tom Leeper.

Betty’s body has been donated to The Ohio State University College of Medicine, Division of Anatomy Body Donor Program. A memorial service will be held at a later date.
