They had two sons, Robert (“Bob”) and Lawrence (“Larry” Jr.) where Betty and Larry raised them in a loving, adventurous, family environment.

They enjoyed traveling throughout Europe as a family over weekends and on holidays during the time they spent in Italy.

Once their sons left for colleges in Boston, Betty began a successful career at Contel, where she won many awards and created many friendships that remained strong and were held close to her heart until her passing.
