We have lost another great soul in our Family this year and our hearts are grieving for our Dear Mother, Elizabeth Ann, who was also an enduring Grandmother, Great Grandmother and Wife, as well as an Aunt and friend, which she was to so many people throughout her long life.
Betty was married to our Father, Pete Bingley, for almost 60 years' before he passed and their relationship and everlasting love was what poets write about. The Family quickly grew and we lived a life in which we never wanted for anything. We also had each other and that is all that mattered.
The memories are many and the list is long, but we would not change a thing to have one more Christmas at Mom and Dad's house, or those amazing Thanksgiving celebrations.
Mom was a homemaker for her whole life and she had a very creative spirit which manifested into many beautiful creations that we now treasure, as they were all handmade by her. She loved her sewing machine, crocheting, knitting and making dolls and bears of all kinds that at one time became a lucrative business, as she designed storefront windows. She was always making something to commemorate every holiday, including never missing out on anyone's birthday. She knew how to turn a small gathering into a memorable occasion. She also was a master at creating holiday meals, that many of us continue with our own Families today.
Mom leaves behind so many, including many Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren and our hope is that they will continue to cherish the love and sense of Family that both our Mother and Father instilled in all of us.
Thank you for all of memories and for taking care of all of us. We will forever be grateful and our love is unending, as you join all of the other Family members who have gone to heaven before you – and unfortunately there are many. May God bless you and keep you and we look forward to meeting you in Heaven. Miss you forever, Mom!
