I will always remember Betty fondly. She was fun to be around and had an enormous heart. She had worked as my father’s aide for several years before his passing. She took care of him as if he were her father. Always cooking and bringing him delicious meals and catering to his every need, even when she was “off duty”. I could not have found a better person to care for him when I couldn’t. I will always be eternally grateful to her for that.
My deepest condolences and prayers to Joseph, Vinnie, Pat and families. I’m so grateful that Betty and I reconnected after many years. We were together constantly when you kids were little and before we moved to California. I will mess her wonderful generous personality. She was a strong and independent woman who was trusting in her Lord and savior Jesus Christ during these final difficult years of illness and constant chemo. She absolutely adored her family and was devoted to them. I look forward to reconnecting with her again in heaven where she is now enjoying beauty, peace and the presence of past loved ones and our loving God and savior. Peace be with you Joseph and Vinnie. You were very much loved.
My love and prayers to the family.I will always remember Betty and the good times we had.She was a fun loving good hearted person the best sister-in -law to have had. I will miss her.
Vinny, Julie and I are so sorry for the loss of your beautiful and precious mother. May the many wonderful memories of her comfort you during this tough time.

Sorry for your loss joe caccone&family
So sorry to learn of Betty’s passing. I worked with her many years ago. She was such a kind “lunch lady” to the kids at West Hills School, and she made the BEST cream puffs that she shared with staff.
My deepest condolences to the Nuzzo and Nuzzolillo families.
