Betty owned Anderson Interiors, Inc., a company she started with her husband in 1975, that has locations in Oakmont, Verona and Downtown Pittsburgh. She could be found at the Oakmont office almost daily unless she was spending days with her grandchildren or next door at Hoffstots having lunch with friends. Her family was her world, and she was a devoted mother and grandmother to each of them. She also spent countless hours volunteering for the Oakmont Chamber of Commerce, even serving as President for a time. She very much enjoyed the small-town life of Oakmont as she grew up in one very similar, Greencastle, PA, with her nine cherished siblings. She was a respected and treasured member of the Oakmont Community.
