She was born on May 1,1929 in Hartville, Ohio where she lived most of her life until moving to Walnut Hills Retirement Center in Walnut Creek, Ohio 5 years ago. Betty was the daughter of the late Abe and Elizabeth (Coblentz) Erb. They were founding members of Maple Grove Mennonite Church where Betty taught many children in Sunday School, including her doctor, Titus Dutcher. She attended Business College after attending Greentown Schools. She worked at Timken Mercy Hospital for many years as supervisor of accounts and collections. Her true vocation was as a caregiver. She cared for her sister, Mary Schmidt (Harry),after her heart attack until her death, then her father, and then her many nieces and nephews. She retired from Mercy in 1991 to care for her mother in the home. Her reputation for her excellent compassionate care led her to be a caregiver for several other members of the community until her own health started to decline at the age of 80. Betty was on the finance committee for the original Hartville Thrift Store, she sang in the choir for the Christmas Cantata, was a faithful blood donor for the Red Cross, and loved to walk. She was known at Walnut Hills as a power walker and wore paths in the hallways with her walker. In addition to her parents, Abe and Elizabeth, and her sister, Mary, she was preceded in death by her brother, Aden Erb of Sarasota, Florida. She is survived by brother, Cal (Pam) Erb of Sarasota; sisters, Erma (John V.) Raber of Wilmot, OH; Martha (Dick) Beachy of Waynesburg, OH; Edna (Sam) Mast of Batesburg, SC; and Sara Doster of Sarasota; sister in law, Verla Erb, of Sarasota and her many nieces and nephews.
