In deep sadness about the loss of my "american" mother, I great her spirits as she was the kindest person in the older generation when I got to meet her at the age of 15 yrs in Langendorf, where her mother was born. 3 trips to the USA to visit with her and her great family were so important to my personal development, that I will be thankful to her for ever. Her heartful laughter and her interest in our german family affairs deepened the link we both felt to each other. My heart is connected with my beloved cousins and their families these days and always will be in the future. Aunt Betty you were so wonderful in life - I so now RUHE IN FRIEDEN !

Betty will be missed by many. She was so kind, fun, thoughtful and positive! I can still hear her laugh. Our deepest sympathy to all her children whom we had the pleasure of growing up together and remaining close. Such a light in the world. God bless her! Kathie Farmer Asp

Betty was like a second mother to me. She was wonderful to my Dad, Harvey. I knew he was in good hands with Betty. During COVID, she and Susan wished my Dad a Happy Birthday from their car and left presents on his door step. I know my Dad was thrilled and I was touched by their kindness to my Dad. I will miss her-and sharing our Annalee collection. Love and prayers to the family during this difficult time and always.
