Betty was born February 7, 1925, in Monessen, Pennsylvania, to Mary Brithinee and Andrew Lucas, who both preceded her in death.\u00a0On May 5, 1948, in Charleroi, Pennsylvania, she married Gus A. Houser, who preceded her in death.<\/p>\n

Betty grew up in the Mon-Valley area and returned to live there late in her life.\u00a0She attended Douglas Business College in Monessen.\u00a0Following her marriage and birth of her first daughter, the young couple moved to Ohio with work outside of the steel industry. During her life, Betty lived and worked in several Ohio towns, including Cleveland, Toledo, and Van Wert. She worked at Dairy Pak in Cleveland.\u00a0In Van Wert, she was an active member of the Newcomer\u2019s Club, managed the Van Wert County Hospital Thrift Shop, and enjoyed playing in their pinochle group.\u00a0She was an avid reader and loved to visit the Toledo Museum of Art.<\/p>\n

Following the sudden death of her husband Gus, in 1977, she moved to North Canton to live near her daughter, Andrea.\u00a0She worked for Seiple Lithograph in Canton while living in the Akron-Canton area.\u00a0Soon after becoming a grandmother in 1985 she moved to San Leandro, California, to assist in the care of her growing family.\u00a0She moved again to Attleboro, Massachusetts, and Cordova, Tennessee, to continue giving loving family support for her three grandchildren.<\/p>\n

When her family moved to New Jersey in 1998, she returned to the Mon-Valley area and became a resident of Donora Towers.\u00a0With declining health, she was moved to live near her daughter in New Jersey. She was a resident of the Allendale Community for Senior Living since 2012. Her grandchildren have continued to visit and provide loving support for her.<\/p>\n
