Williamsburg, Virginia ñ Betty Jane Gentili, 89, died on November 12, 2014 after a long illness. Born in Buffalo, Betty lived the majority of her life in the South towns of Hamburg and Eden.

Betty is preceded in death by her husband of 55 years, Dan Gentili. She is survived by two grateful sons, who owe their wonderful lives to her ever-present love and support which they received during their formative years. Betty is also survived by two daughter-in-laws, who loved and appreciated her; two grand-sons and four great-grandchildren. She will not be forgotten! .

    So sorry about Aunt Betty. Haven't seen her for many years. Did not know what happened to her. Thought about her often and remember her laughter and bubbly personality. Hopefully, she is at peace now. Richard, Judy and Heather Gentili
