EAST LIVERPOOL - East Liverpool resident Betty Mesler, 71, passed away suddenly at Lifeline Hospital in Wintersville, at 6:15 Wednesday morning, Sept. 19, 2012.
Born on July 5, 1941, in Toronto, she was a daughter of the late Jennetta Lowery Keenen and Lawrence Booth.
A Methodist by faith, she had spent her lifetime in the area and had been a homemaker. She enjoyed quilting, crocheting and doing puzzles, but by far, her greatest love was found in her grandchildren and extended family. Anyone who knew Betty, knew how important they were to her - if only by looking at all the photographs of them hanging on her walls.
