Betty married the love of her life, Bud, on December 6, 1963. Together they made their home and raised their family in Youngstown. Their door was always open and everyone was welcome.

Betty was predeceased by her mother and father James and Magdalina McLennan as well as her husband of 41 years, Bud.

She will be sorely missed by her son Tim (Vicki) and their family Sammi-Jo (Kyle) Griffin, Reed and Kelton and great-grandson Ryan; daughter Tammy (Dan) and their children Dianna, Wyatt and great-grandson Zayne.
