People named Betty Tartaglini

Bettina Libratore had been a bit eccentric and a social light. She would change her hair color often and she love her animals, Miniature French poodles. As one of three grandsons she had always been warm, friendly, and kind to us, but very unique in her own accord. She would go out of her way to concoct something out of the refrigerator when we were small. Most of the time it was all the leftovers that had been in there G_d only knows how long. To this day I wondered at how my father and auntie survived. She had called this creation, "Sailer's soup" as she keep pouring more things into this boiling pot. One day I remember going into her garden and collecting the snails from her yard and she would cook them and tried sharing them with us. Not to be rude to my grandmother, I being the oldest child in my family, also had been the guinea pig and the only one brave enough to try it! As soon as I put this delicacy into my mouth I spat it out across her kitchen floor. At that point my brother and sister didn't want anything to do with anything she had cooked, ever! Grandma didn't want us to call her Grandma because it made her feel old, but instead Honey Bunch had been what she choose and that's how we all remember her. She was quite the unique traditional Italian character and very generous. She loved to play her piano, painting, and a bit of a socialite. She had always dreamt of hitting it big in the many endeavors she had tackled in owning a business for herself. Whether it was Amway, or Avon, or hair stylist... she was always concocting a way to make money. She was a typical Italian lady and traditional when it came to holidays. I love this lady we called Honey Bunch for her uniqueness in the way she looked at life... spunky, opinionated, and did most of the talking as grandpa just went along for the ride. As if he was waiting to see what she do next.
