Betty and Herman living a robust and fulfilling life side by side doing exactly what they wanted to do! Betty will be remembered for her kindness, generosity, sharp Irish wit. Her prowess as a dance partner with Herman would wow others and band members too, cutting time with the Lindy Hop and doing the jitterbug. She was a voracious reader, diehard Yankees fan, New York Times crossword puzzle and Jeopardy enthusiast. With Herman, they completed some of the most complicated jigsaw puzzles ever seen! Among friends and family, she is renowned for her penmanship and creative letter writing, a skill she first honed as a teenager supporting the troops during WWII. Cooking for Herman, family, and friends brought joy to her heart; Let''s plan to eat in, I''ll fix a meal, she would frequently say. Betty always had a pot of sausage and meatballs for any occasion and passed on the German family recipes, especially sauerbraten. The family enjoyed many meals around the dining room table talking and laughing together where we would pass the towel. Elizabeth Duschl was a strong role model and matriarch to her children, friend to their spouses, wonderful Nani to her grandchildren and always a loving faithful partner to her beloved husband Herman.
