Bette was the beloved wife of the late James L. Kehoe. They were married 37 years before Jim's passing at age 63. Their happiest times were spent surrounded by family, many friends and most importantly her "friend since birth," Sylvia Linus, and her extended family in Ocean City.
She is survived by her sons, James and his wife, Liz; Michael and his wife, Donna; Donald and his wife, Lisa and her five grandchildren: Lindsey, Kelli, Nicole, Donald and Brett.
Recognized as a "snappy dresser" during her high school days at Woodrow Wilson High in Camden, anyone who knew Bette knew her sense of style and her desire to always be dressed to impress.
