Born on June 20, 1932 in the original town of Peach Bottom, York County, PA, she was a daughter of the late Garrison and Anna (Krick) Workman.
Betty was the local Avon Lady and was well known during her 49 year career with Avon Products. A dedicated representative who loved her job, she made many friends over the years and continued to sell Avon up until the time of her passing.
A caregiver to many people, Betty began cooking and caring for her siblings at the age of 12. Most recently, her beloved sister, Janet Shoff lived at Betty’s home so Betty could care for her during Janet’s battle with pancreatic cancer. Janet passed away on May 14, 2020.

Betty was known by many names including Betsy, Mom, Maude, Sis, Mom-Mom and Nana. She enjoyed reading, cooking, baking and traveling, especially on bus trips and family vacations.
