Betty was born on November 13, 1932 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to James and Kathryn McCabe. She graduated from West Catholic High School and sharpened her many business skills before meeting and marrying Vincent, a WWII veteran, on December 26, 1953.

She loved reading, recipes, relaxing at the beach and her Catholic faith. She cherished her 8 children, 20 grandchildren, and 14 great-grandchildren.

Betty's life work was serving others, which she did with extraordinary love. Our Mom & "Mom Mom" showed us, with sincerity and simplicity, what it means to give, and we treasure her memory in our hearts and lives.
