Upon retirement, Bette and Jim made their permanent home at Spruce Bay. They enjoyed travelling in particular, to Florida, Texas, Arizona and her first Caribbean Cruise. Bettes family will cherish the many years of memories spent at the family summer home; especially the huge horseshoe tournaments, fireside chats and sing-songs till the wee hours of the morning. Bette was well known for her gardens, both vegetable and flowers. She had an extensive collection of "Betty Boop" memorabilia which she took great pride in.
