Her family has requested that memorial and remembrances be made through donations to Edwardsville Faith in Action or the Glen Ed Pantry (her two favorite charities).

The family expresses its grateful appreciation to the kind, compassionate people at Hospice of Southern Illinois, Edwardsville Nursing and Rehabilitation, and at Kalmer Memorial Services. Betty left this world spiritually at peace, with no regrets.
