Betty Mae Whittaker, 84, of Mineral Ridge, passed away Friday, November 25, 2022 at Shepherd of the Valley.


Born April 27, 1938, Betty was the daughter of Mearl and Velma (Smith) Bowman.

She was a 1957 graduate of Niles McKinley High School. She married the love of her life, Donald Whittaker, on June 29, 1957, and they were married just two weeks shy of their 65th anniversary.
