Betty’s granddaughter Maggie summed up Betty best in her Facebook post: “Today my family said our goodbyes to our matriarch. Betty Jane Ladlie was a spitfire of a woman. I will remember my Nanny as a woman who taught me how to curse, spit, appreciate Cardinal baseball, and be an unapologetically loud and proud force of a woman. She loved her grandchildren more fiercely than anything in the world, and would never miss the opportunity to brag about them to anyone (just ask any grocery store bagboy that's ever encountered her). She had a knack of making us grandkids feel special, even if she had about 20+ of them. Her loss signifies a final closing of a chapter of childhood that was filled with crawdad fishing, firefly hunting, jelly making, firework shooting, and so, so much more. While she had not been the same since she lost the love of her life, we are now comforted that she has finally gotten her peace. RIP Nanny” Services handled through Cremation Society of St. Louis, 10305 BIG BEND ROAD, KIRKWOOD, MO.
