She always had time to care for the children of family and friends she cared for who came to know her as "Grammy," and a homemade pizza or roll was surely on the menu. At home Betty Lee enjoyed working the daily crossword puzzles in the newspaper with her puzzle dictionary by her side, was an avid reader who also enjoyed working other puzzles games, and watching her favorite soap opera. A caring mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend, she will be greatly missed for her wonderful smile and caring ways she shared with so many.
