She enjoyed bowling, golfing, dancing, shopping, cooking, and the fun winter stays with her great friends to South Padre Island, TX. Oh, did they ALL fun!!! Betty loved her Chicago Cubbies. There wasn't a game that was on tv she didn't miss. Fun times at least once a year on the "party bus" into Wrigley Field with host Joe Harris and friends was a heck of a great time for Betty.
Sunday morning breakfast was a ritual for the family. She sure could cook!!! If you left hungry that was your own fault.
