Besides her parents, Elizabeth was predeceased by her sisters Judith Imbro, Mary Ellen Mullin and a brother Jack Popp.
The family would also like to offer special Thanks to Dr. Neuberger and his team as well as Constellation Health for helping Betsy her transition with dignity and grace in her final days.
