Sometime when she was in her sixties Grandma Betty found out she had Diabetes.  It was late in life to be proactive about it, so she did the best she could to manage the symptoms and she and Lyle decided to move out West together.

Despite the good weather and retirement lifestyle, Grandma Betty felt sick and tired.  She wasn't one to be a burden on anybody or to wreck a pie-eating party with bad news.  And it wasn't very long between feeling bad one day and passing over soon after.  She launched from the top of Vegas with a view she loved to talk about straight up to heaven.  And Lyle helped the family get Betty back to Michigan where she rests beside her mama, Grandma Pearl.
