It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we inform you of the passing of our beloved mother, Elizabeth (Smith) Erdelles [a.k.a Betty Lou]. Although she has departed from this world, we take solace in knowing that she is now reunited with her Lord, her parents, and her daughter.
Throughout her life, she played numerous roles with grace and love – daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, friend, and even a dedicated school bus driver. Her presence was a true blessing to everyone who had the privilege of knowing her, and she was a cherished gift to those who held her dear.
Her absence will be deeply felt by many, she was an extraordinary woman who touched so many lives and left a lasting imprint on our hearts. The wisdom she imparted, her inner and outer beauty, and her boundless kindness will leave a void that can never be filled.
As per her wishes, there will be no funeral service. Instead, we will be organizing a celebration of her remarkable life, and we will share the details soon. We are incredibly grateful for the overwhelming love and support we have received during this difficult time.
May her soul rest in eternal peace.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
