Betty lived in the Lewiston/Auburn area first with her two sons and then with her good friend Charlotte Varney. After Charlotte's passing she purchased a trailer in Turner and then spent her last years living with her daughter in law and grandchildren in Gorham.
Betty's joys included Karaoke, playing cards and various games with family and friends, trying her luck with horses, scratch/lottery tickets, and slots. She loved to make handcrafted gifts and cuddling with her two fur babies Sadie and bugsy.
Betty was a kind, sweet, and loving person who worked hard, laughed harder, and made the most out of life. She never had a lot in life, but she always gave more than she had.
She is predeceased by a son Rodney “ Rocky” Abbott in 1992, and her two sisters Glenda and Margie. She is survived by a son Ronald Abbott of Lisbon and a brother Rodger Lee Abbott of New Sharon, and her favorite Aunt Ella Wilbur of Avon, 6 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren.
