Cremation and Memorial for Betty Heft

My name is Kayleigh, one of Betty's daughters-in-law. I am coming to you all with sad news of Betty's passing last night after an illness. Her final wishes were to be cremated and have a low-key memorial service, celebrating her wonderful life and to remember her kindness, heart of gold, and radiating personality.

A bit about Betty; she loved her family more than anything. She leaves behind her loving husband, Bob Heft, of 45 years, two wonderful sons; Bill Heft(Kayleigh Heft) and Bob Heft(Meghan Heft), and two granddaughters who meant the world to her and were cherished by her; Rosaleigh Heft and Madison Jones. She was an avid reader and crafter, her favorite author being Stephen King. She grew up very active in a local Methodist church; Wedgewood United Methodist Church. After praising God in the morning on Sundays, she would be cheering on the Cleveland Browns in the afternoon.

Betty also had a deep love of animals. Having worked at White's Fish Farm for many years, she was able to convey that love through her work.

On a final note, I want to share what the definition of Happiness was to Betty in her own words, from a book she left behind for Rosaleigh:

Happiness is......

Family

Celebrating holidays with family

Finding the person you love

Having 2 beautiful boys

A sunny day, just enjoying it

Reading a book with your dog or cat curled up next to you

Going to the park with the boys

A dinner out with family

Spending Sunday relaxing

Going on hikes with Carol (her sister) and the boys

Staying up all night with a Stephen King book, a cup of tea, and your pet or child

Crafting with Grandma

Christmas caroling and hot cocoa

Christmas.....Thanksgiving

Cleaning house with music blaring

Baking cookies with Grandma

Watching my granddaughters experience things

Please, if you're able to give, our family would appreciate it beyond words. And if you're not able to give, we would be so grateful to have this GoFundMe shared to as many people as we can reach. Thank you.
