She loved bowling, romance novels, collecting lighthouses and fairies, scary movies, family reunions, computers, computer games, and most of all her family and her grandkids. Betty's family was her whole life. The kids always felt as though they could discuss any matter with Betty and she would not judge them. She would only love them.
