Betty had many interests and never liked sitting still. She loved to spend time reading, crafting, and taking pictures. She was a teacher for many years and loved inspiring young children; and she was always happy learning something new. Her faith played a large role in her life. She loved meeting new people and had many lifelong friends. Her favorite times were when she was with her family and friends.

In addition to her husband David of Lititz, Betty is survived by her children: Laura E. Eaton of Lititz, Michaela J. Purnell of Lititz, and Brad D. Eaton (married to Vânia Schmegel) of Lancaster; her grandchildren: Ellaina M. Purnell and Keeley A. Purnell; and her many extended family members and friends.

Family will receive friends Friday, August 4, 2023 from 6pm to 8pm at Zion Lutheran Church, 18 Quarry Rd., Leola, PA. 17540. A celebration of Betty’s life will be on Saturday, August 5, 2023 at 11am at the church.
