Betty was preceded in death by her beloved husband of fifty years, Harry W.; her parents, Margaret and Edward J. Clem; and her brothers, William and Edward J. Jr., all of Louisville.
Betty is survived by her sister, Adele Barry (née Clem) of Louisville; three children, Patricia Hewitt of Chamblee, Georgia, Mary Elizabeth (Betsy) Hewitt of Decatur, Georgia, and Harry W. Hewitt, Jr. (Eileen) of Rocky River, Ohio.
Betty was also the proud grandmother/great-grandmother to three grandchildren, David Hewitt (Stephanie), Kara Tolentino (Mark) and Meg Kennedy (Roger); seven great-grandchildren, Ellie, Ryan, and Abby Tolentino, Olivia and Riley Hewitt, and Leo and Grady Kennedy. She is also survived by numerous loving nieces and nephews in the Clem and Barry families.
Betty was born and raised in Louisville, grew up on Bassett Avenue, and later moved to Shady Lane after marrying Harry, a World War II veteran.
She attended Sacred Heart Academy and the University of Louisville. Betty was employed by Bell Telephone Company during the war. After their children were born in Louisville, she and Harry relocated to Nashville, Tennessee, and later Stone Mountain, Georgia, where they retired.
She was an avid golfer and Atlanta Braves fan, as well as a lover of animals and flowers.
Betty was a loving and devoted mother and grandmother. She was an active member of all of the Catholic parishes to which she belonged, including St. James in Louisville, Holy Rosary in Nashville, and Corpus Christi in Stone Mountain.
She was involved in numerous activities and clubs to express her deep faith. There was nothing more important to Betty than faith and family. All who knew her were touched by her gentle, generous and kind nature, and wry sense of humor.
The funeral service will be private, and for family only. Interment will be at Calvary Cemetery.
