Betty also loved Peggy's fianc� Ed Schwab and his two sons Zachary and Benjamin. Betty spent the last 15 years of her life living and loving in the home of granddaughter Peggy and great-grandaughter Meghan Boyd along with Ed and his sons Zack and Ben. She was so proud of them and loved to show off the "4 generations" when her daughter came for visits. Betty passed on August 15, 2020 quietly and beautifully in the arms of her granddaughter around 8 pm. This woman of first tattoo's in her 60's and body piercings in her 70's and vivid purple hair will be sorely missed by all who loved her. She may have been grouchy at the end of her life, but she was never dull. Carry on and save us all a place at the table when we get there to see you again. I love you Mommy.
