Betty Lecuyer

April 24, 2022

Betty Joan (Anderson) Lecuyer age 90. It is with saddened hearts, that our beloved mother received her wings and a direct flight home to her heavenly Father after many years of painful suffering. Born in Buffalo, Kansas she grew up on the family farm in Chanute, Kansas. After graduating from high school, she moved to Topeka, Kansas to work. That was where the country girl met her Jersey boy, Raymond, at a USO dance at Forbes Air Force Base. Married at a young age Betty was blessed to celebrate two recent milestones: celebrating her 90th birthday as well as celebrating 70 loving years of marriage! She supported Raymond in his lifelong career as a firefighter and she served as President of the Ladies Auxiliary at Toms River Fire Department #2. Their life journey took them from Kansas to New Jersey to Florida to Missouri and finally back to New Jersey. Betty was predeceased by her parents, Emma and Roy Anderson, three infant brothers, a daughter (Mary Elizabeth): granddaughter (Christina Karol). Betty is survived by sole mate/love of her life husband, Raymond: their angel daughters Donna (Bob) Hermanni, Connie (Joseph) Karol, Therese (Anthony, Jr) Petrillo: grandchildren Michael (Christina) Karol, Dana Hermanni and (Joe), twins Anthony, III (Jill) Petrillo, Raymond (Tiffany) Petrillo, Adam (Alisha) Karol: great grandson, Brody (Ray & Tiffany) Petrillo: sister Judy (John) Morton Newby: nephew Craig (Susie) Morton: and numerous relatives and friends. Everyone who was blessed to know Betty loved her and was graced with her kind, caring, loving, generous, faithful, friendship. She was always true to herself. The family would like to extend a special thanks the aides, nurses, Chaplin and social worker of the Visiting Nurse Association Hospice for their dedicated, caring, passionate, gentle, professional, and compassionate care they gave to our dear beloved wife and mother; helping to ease the pain and transition from her earthly home to her eternal resting place for both patient and family, we are forever grateful. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to The VNA Health Group: Visiting Nurse Association Health and Hospice of New Jersey.
