Betty enjoyed spending 6-7 winter months a year (for over 40 years) in Florida, mostly at Ellenton Gardens with her Florida family. While in Michigan for the summers, she loved going to the cottage at Sand Lake with family for the holiday weekends. Betty loved eating chocolate or any dessert, especially popcorn balls for Christmas Eve family get togethers. She loved to travel to Hawaii, Europe, and Northern Michigan. She would win playing “Hand and Foot” with her granddaughters in Florida or Sand Lake. She loved sending cards to everyone for any reason. Betty could not wait for Christmas Eve to watch everyone open gifts after The Traditional Lynn’s Brunch.
