Betty loved to cook, it was her passion especially during the holidays. Her cookie trays and pastachena were loved by all. She always had country music playing in the house, and would break out into a dance at anytime. Betty made everyone feel like family, and you always had an invitation to stop down for coffee anytime. Betty enjoyed spending time with her companion Robert and adored her cat, Miss Wiggy. She will truly be missed by all who were lucky enough to have met this extraordinary lady.

Betty is survived by her sons, Tim (Diane) Fazio and Jim (Diana) Fazio; grandchildren, T.J. (Ellyse) Fazio, Samantha “Sami” (Jeremy) Stayner, Tony Fazio and Mikey Fazio; great-grandchildren, Alex Fazio, Hudson Fazio and Riley Stayner; and a host of extended family and friends.
