She was a woman of great faith and a member of the Church of Saint Joseph in Mendham.

Betty Lou was a loving wife for 65 years. Her children and grandchildren were her greatest love. Betty Lou was the kind of mom who was always in the stands cheering on her children and grandchildren. She loved celebrating holidays with family and friends, singing, dancing, and laughing while sharing memories. There was always an open door at the Catino home and usually a big pot of barley soup on the stove to share with whoever was lucky enough to stop by.
