In Memoriam

Elizabeth "Betty" Simonetti

The Valley Community Foundation mourns the passing of Elizabeth "Betty" Simonetti, a dear friend and dedicated community member. Betty was a trailblazer in the family nursing home businesses, a devoted wife and mother, and a woman of deep faith. Her impact on the Valley, through her work and commitment to giving back, will not be forgotten. Our thoughts are with the Simonetti Family during this difficult time. In her memory, the family has asked that contributions can be made to the Gaeton and Elizabeth Simonetti Family Fund.
