Betty spent most of her life in Altoona, Pennsylvania. She owned and operated My Fair Lady Beauty Salon with three of her best girlfriends. Once retired, she was very active in the 1st Presbyterian Church on Broad Avenue, singing in the choir and serving as a deacon. As well as volunteering at the Presbyterian Home. She had wonderful neighbors Steve & Nelda Hazelett & Patty Marx that she adored and shared much of her life with until her illness moved her west.

Betty will be most remembered by being a second Mom or Grandma Betty to so many children. She never met a kid she didn't love! Her sassiness, direct talk, wonderful sense of humor and her love of music and her faith defined her life!

Betty was preceded in death by her parents Robert & Mary Ruffner, Brothers Bobby & Jim Ruffner and Sister Irene Ruffner. Her beloved husband Wayne "Doc" Cashman and 2nd husband Harold Pasekoff. Son in law, John Westley and most recently daughter Susan Greco who passed this spring.

There will be no public service as Betty wishes to have her ashes returned to Altoona, Pennsylvania. The family appreciates all of the caregivers at Hunters Glen, Aging services & Hospice for loving Betty and the family throughout this journey. The family will celebrate her life in a memorial service at a later point in time.
