Elizabeth Louise Finnegan , age 84, passed away at her home in Apple Canyon Lake and is now in Heaven with her family.

She was a loving and devoted wife and companion to John (Jack, Jackson, or Finn to her and he called her Betty Boop). They had just celebrated their 66th Anniversary. They retired in Apple Canyon Lake on the golf course. Jack and Betty loved to travel, fish and play golf from Arizona to Hot Springs Village to Texas…

Loving mother to Debbie, Tracy (Bryan), Rick, Laurie and Tiger. Grandma to Danny, Jennifer (Ben), Alex (Jordan), Bri, Erin, Kelli and Jack. Great Grandma to McKenzie (Braden) and Colten and another one coming soon. Betty had numerous nieces and nephews spread across the country who will dearly miss Aunt Betty.

She was predeceased by her parents, John and Julia Swift, her sister Jean Ansonia, and her Aunt Lou and Uncle Mac. Betty leaves behind her sister Kathleen Metevier, brothers-in-law Jim Metevier and John Ansonia (Marilyn).

Betty spent her life caring for those around her, her family, her friends and those in her community. She never missed the opportunity to care for the birds, squirrels and stray cats in her yard. She enjoyed watching their antics. She was known as "Betty Bank" during her career at West Suburban Bank. She was not just a banker, but a helpful friend to all her customers.

She gave without counting the cost, and she gave with grace and love and with the most contagious and beautiful smile.

She was passionate about her faith, passing along her devotions and beliefs to those around her- and she never missed an opportunity to pray for any one in need.

Betty loved with an open heart as those loved by her will tell you. She loved with her joy, laughter, humor and compassion. The stories, laughter and memories she made are cherished by all who were blessed to know her, and they will carry on her legacy of love for years and years to come.

Betty left her loving touch on all those around her and she will be greatly missed by all her family and friends. She would lovingly say "last tag" any time she had to say goodbye because goodbyes were hard for her. She tried not to cry by playing this loving game. Betty shared her contagious energy with everyone she met and she's dancing in the kitchen in Heaven forever now.

"Last Tag" to our beloved Betty… We will cherish your memory and your love forever.

Many 4th of July celebrations with nieces and nephews – Dan (Beverly), Julie (Mike), Ken (Kristi), Tom, Joe and Kathy (Ron) and their kids always ended with the finale countdown at the lake. 1..2…3   This is it!!

There will be a small service at Holy Cross Catholic Church on January 16th (her Birthday). It will be streamed as well.

In lieu of flowers, any donations may be made in Betty Finnegan's name to her Church- Holy Cross Catholic Church in Stockton, IL.
