She was a great family woman and a loving mother. Betty J. Samuels married Henry Samuels and the couple had two children, Curtis Oliver, and Paulette Samuels.
Betty loved to cook her favorite family meal at home and take it to family gatherings. She was famous for her baked spaghetti, and she loved making farina for her grandchildren.
She was very family oriented always traveled in the rain sleet and snow to visit her family in Chelsea projects on Pacific St in Brooklyn, while toting Rahmel & Paulette with her.
She loved to joke and laugh and never had a problem speaking her mind lol!
She loved her long nails and her clothing. Which you would have thought was Taylor made the way she put her attire together.
She cherished her grandchildren and great grandchildren especially Daquan which she made very clear to his mom that when she gave birth to him, he was hers lol!
But nevertheless, she loved us all unconditionally and was the best mom and grandma anyone could ever have.
Betty will be missed tremendously by her family and friends. We love you mom and grandma get your rest now…...
