Betty was a teller at Bank of America in Bronson for many years. If you knew her well, you’ll recall her love of a good time and feisty personality!
From days at the golf course to evenings at the basketball games and card games, she was always surrounded by friends. She loved spending time at the lake with her family and could ride around on the boat for hours.
