Betty Ann Lilly

Betty was born on September 2, 1948, in the Bronx, New York to the late Louise Miller and Calvin Lilly. She was raised in the Bronx alongside her four sisters in the Patterson Housing Projects. Betty shared a special bond with her sisters Frances Lilly, who survives her, and the late Janice Lilly, Jeanne Lilly, and Barbara (Marlene) Lilly.

Betty was a loving and caring person who touched the lives of many. She was the proud mother of her adopted son, Anthony Castro, who preceded her in death.
