We always knew her as Aunt Betty. I will never forget how she helped care for our Uncle Victor Rudden until the day he died from terminal cancer.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. Betty was a great lady and so kind. I will never forget how supportive she was to me when I was going to nursing school. Even when she did not feel well, she never forgot a card or a message. She will be missed!
Love,
Eileen, Jeff, Noah and Brigid Gross
