In early years, Betty worked as a dental assistant, buyer for The Hub of Steubenville, and was a volunteer nurse’s aide at the Pittsburgh Veterans’ Hospital. She was a regional fashion model until 1965, and an extremely active member of Starkdale Church from the 1960’s, to the 90’s. Family was her focus, always. In her later years, she was dedicated to her 3 grandsons.
