She was preceded by her parents Mary Jane (Glasby) and Donald Hebert; her brother Roger Hebert; her mother and father-in-law Ella (Huber) and Raymond Matter and her grandsons: Adam Dodge and Zachariah Stargardt.

Betty so very much enjoyed her life with her family, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She will be sadly missed by her family and friends.
