Betty Franks
April 27, 1947 - January 7, 2017

Betty Franks left this world for her eternal resting place January 7, 2017. Born in Quebec, Canada on April 27, 1947, her parents Orlando and Marian Mack brought her to the United States, where she searched for her "place in life" before settling in Hastings, Michigan.
Anyone can tell you how feisty and stubborn she was, by which her beloved dog "Sashi" took her cues from, eventually becoming just like her. Betty enjoyed playing the lotto, walking her dog, driving her corvette (which we all wonder how she saw over the dash) and working. You couldn't convince Betty to take a day off work, even for a short trip to the local casino. She knew as a teenager she wanted to be a hairdresser and she loved all her clients dearly.
Betty will be greatly missed by her special friend and co-worker Bethany (Burnie and Raelee) Moore and fellow co-workers Julie Power, Jessi Baker, Angie Evans, Cassie Harvath, Ashley Morrill, Kerri Tobias, Barbara Cotton, Bridgette Eaton, and Sheila Day.
She is survived by her daughter Dawn (Josh Raulston) Ritchie, her three grandchildren Kenny, Stephanie, and Hunter, and three great grandchildren Whitney, Payton, and Paisley.
Betty was proceeded in death by her parents, her son Billy Morin, and sister Fay Clapp.
Despite her strong-willed and spunky personality, she had a heart of gold and she left a profound impact on everyone she met and she will be greatly missed.
A memorial service will be held at Thornapple Valley Church in Hastings at 12:00pm on Wednesday, January 18, 2017, with a luncheon to immediately follow.
A private family interment will take place at Mount Ever Rest Cemetery in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
Memorial contributions can be made to the Barry County Animal Shelter.
