About Elizabeth : Betty was such a good-hearted and fun loving soul! She was born in Queens, NYC, to Slovakian immigrants. She smiled often and loved her pets. She had dogs, cats and a rescue Cockatoo and loved them all. Her life was difficult in many ways as two of her daughters faced serious disabilities and she was a single mom for much of their lives. She rose to all challenges, and had good friends who didn’t desert her when the going got tough. She loved going out for seafood, especially shrimp of any kind, but popcorn shrimp were her favorite. She loved traveling around California with her kids and went to Disneyland, Reno and Hawaii. She was a devoted Catholic and loved the Lord and the Blessed Mother. more... less...
