Betty was a lifelong member of St. Thomas Aquinas Church, Binghamton, where she was a member of the Altar Rosary Society. She had a great love of music and loved to rally us in the morning to the tune of the When the Red Red Robin Comes Bob Bob Bobbin' Along. Mom liked us to believe that she always knew what we were up to either by her informant the "Little Bird" or through her training as a spy for the FBI. Grammie loved to give kisses on the backs of her grandbabies necks so she could get their "honey". The family would like to extend a special thank you to the North 2 Staff at Willow Point Nursing Home for the wonderful and compassionate care given to our Mother Sister and Grammie. A Funeral Mass will be offered at St. Thomas Aquinas Church, Highland Avenue, Binghamton, Monday at 10 a.m. Burial will be in St. Augustine's Cemetery, Silver Lake, PA.
