She enjoyed bowling in the women’s league at Faxon Lanes, singing in the choir at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church, and was a Girl Scout leader.

Surviving are two children, Charisse Blumberg, of Forest Hill, Md., and Luther “Luke” Stroup Jr., (Amy) of Williamsport; six grandchildren, Loni Stroup, Brandon Stroup, Matthew Stroup, Adelyn Hall, Christopher Stroup, and Ryan Blumberg; seven great-grandchildren; a sister, Cheryl Showalter, of Niceville, Fla.; two nephews, Jason and Eric Cole; one niece, Karol Combs; and former daughter-in-law, Shirley “Bunny” Alberts.

In addition to her parents and husband Betty was preceded in death by a sister, Kathleen Cole; twin grandsons, Justin and Shannon Stroup; and a nephew, Clifford Cole.
A graveside service to honor the life of Betty will be held at Twin Hills Memorial Park at the convenience of the family.
