Later in life, after raising her own family with love and devotion, a member of St. Sebastian Roman Catholic Church, Betty served as the director of religious education at St. Sebastian Church. In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her first grandson, Freddy Fundy. She is survived by her husband, Fred Fundy, to whom she was married 61 years; her five children, John (Carrie) Fundy, MaryAnn (John) Fuhry, Fred (Denise) Fundy, Joanne (Jeff) Jones and Susan (Tim) Donaldson; and grandchildren, Dominic Fundy, Tyler and Kelsey Kurutz, T.J. and Danielle Kurutz, Lissa Jones, Neal Jones, Sam Donaldson and Michelle Donaldson. Visitation will be held from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 17, 2023, at PARZYNSKI FUNERAL HOME & CREMATIONS LLC, family owned and operated, 626 Broad Ave., Belle Vernon, 724-929-6183. Prayers of Transfer will be held at 9:30 a.m. Monday in the funeral home, followed by a funeral Mass at 10 a.m. at St. Sebastian R.C. Church with the Rev. Michael J. Crookston as celebrant. Interment will take place in Belle Vernon Cemetery.
