Later, she worked countless hours as a volunteer for several organizations. Betty is survived by her beloved daughter Amy Orchard Jungbauer (Walter) and cherished grandchildren Nick, Stephen and namesake Elizabeth Jungbauer; sisters Geri Ford and Claudia Hecimovich, godson Aaron Hecimovich as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins.
