Betty was a proud 1968 graduate of St. Hubert's Catholic High School For Girls. Recent Widow of Michael J. McCullough. Mother of Jennifer Fleury (Jim), Colleen Giorgi (Dominic), and Michael McCullough.

She was a caregiver to many children throughout her life, as a young teacher, foster mother, substitute teacher, babysitter, and home daycare Mom for many years.

A lifelong Disney fan, where all her 'Dreams came true' when she was there, in the Magic Kingdom, or somewhere on the property, with her family.

Nothing meant more to Betty than spending any time, anywhere, with her family. As long as we were together, that's all that mattered.♥️

My sister Betty meant the world to me. She made my childhood so memorable. We did everything together. She was such a special person. I will be lost without her. She played such a major part in my life. I am who I am today because of her love and guidance. She was taken from us too soon. I hope she is now at peace with all her loved ones. Until we meet again she will forever be in my heart.❤️
