     Betty was a 1945 graduate of South Williamsport High School. She worked at Brodart for 16 years as a book distributor until retirement.

     Betty was a member of Hillview Baptist church where she joyfully participated in the choir for many years.

     Time spent with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren were of the utmost importance. She loved watching them participate in activities and always could be found in the stands at sporting events.

     She enjoyed watching Penn State and NFL football, often rooting for the Steelers, but never for the Cowboys. Betty’s kind, caring , compassionate ways will certainly be missed by those who knew and loved her.

     In addition to her parents and husband she was preceded in death by her siblings, Pauline Henderson (Alvin), Sherman Reigle (Jackie), and Jack Reigle; and a brother-in-law, David Day.
