Betty was a homemaker. She and her husband built a beautiful life together including the addition of their children along the way who were her greatest pride and joy. While she will be missed, we are at peace knowing that she is once again united with her beloved husband of 63 years, Robert C. Zych, Sr. who passed away in 2014. This loving couple, who were rarely apart in life, will be together forever once again.
