Betty Ann Ray

Betty (Elizabeth) Ann Ray (Przybylski), age 71, passed away peacefully at home on March 2, 2020. Betty was born December 14, 1948 to George and Margaret Przybylski.

Betty loved spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren.

Betty's smile, warmth, and unconditional love for all will be remembered and cherished. She was a caring and devoted nurse for a long career. She loved her faith and the Lord, and loved sharing it with children through teaching religious education. She also loved swimming, painting, and gardening.
