Elizabeth "Betty" Bonetti, 87, of Vestal, New York, went to be with Our Lord on Monday, January 1, 2024. Betty was born in St. Louis, Missouri, to the late Frank and Agnes Debrecht. Along with her parents, she was predeceased by her husband, Andy; sister, Mary Clare; daughter-in-law, Marla; and grandson, Darin Salerno.

Betty was a fervent Catholic, making her childhood Sacraments at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel in St. Louis, Missouri. She graduated as a Registered Nurse from St. John's Mercy School of Nursing in St. Louis, Missouri, and worked in hospitals, private doctor offices, and a nursing home when she wasn't busy raising five children. Betty was a long-time member of St. Margaret Mary's Catholic Church in Apalachin, New York, and was involved with Marriage Encounter, Stephens Ministry, and enjoyed making presentations at Marriage Pre-Cana Classes. Betty and Andy spent 32 winters in Fort Pierce, Florida, where she enjoyed Bible Study, meeting new people, and playing tennis. Her greatest passion was raising her children and spending time with family.
