Betty was a member and devoted volunteer of St. John Orthodox Church in East Pittsburgh. She was a member and past President of the St. John Altar Society and was involved at every Church effort whether baking nut rolls, making pierogies, or serving and cooking for Church dinners and funeral luncheons.
