Betty grew up in Southwest Philadelphia and attended West Catholic HS Class of 1950. She was still singing the fight song just a few weeks ago! Betty enjoyed following her children, friends & their families on Facebook and keeping up with birthdays, graduations, many sports teams and all family fun!

Betty, best known as Nanny, loved spending time with her 8 grandchildren. Chris (Nicole), Lauren (Anthony), Meghan (Paul), Kerri, Brynn, Courtney, Kara & Elizabeth.

Her favorite night of the month was “Movie & Pizza Night” with her grandchildren. She also loved sending daily emojis and texts to all of her family and friends.

Newtown Square & the entire Thiel family lost an absolute gem with her passing.
