Betty was very proud of her rich life here in Lake Charles creating stories to last a lifetime. Her stories began with her childhood on Helen Street to graduating at St. Charles Academy and Sowela Tech in 1946. Betty took pride during her time as a comptometrist at Mathison but most of all loved her years creating her family and spreading love and joy in every room she entered. She was truly loved by all! Betty was active in her community and served at Moss Regional Auxiliary, Our Lady Queen of Heaven Alter Society, bowled on a league over 60 years, and created and shared ‘Rita’ wood crosses with everyone she met. Her talents, generosity and kindness were limitless, she was truly one of a kind! We were all blessed to have her in our lives.
