She was orphaned and separated from her three sisters when she was just two years old. She was adopted by the Hoving family and raised on a farm in Holland, Michigan. This vivacious child blossomed into a beautiful, talented, artistic woman who left Michigan as a young adult to pursue her dreams in California.

She was a joy to be with having the talent to make people around her feel good with her story telling skill, her wit and her humor.

And the only heart I own For you and you alone That’s all, That’s all…” “It’s not the pale moon that excites me That thrills and delights me, oh no It’s just the nearness of you It isn’t your sweet conversation That brings this sensation, oh no It’s just the nearness of you.” Bette Lou Rosenberg is survived by her husband, Harold; her eldest daughter Michelle (Shelly) and her husband, William (Bill); her son Michael and is wife, Tina; her youngest daughter Renee; her sister Bernice; her grandchildren; Eric, Jennifer, Michael Jr., Travis, Trent and Brittnee; great grandson Adam; and six nieces and nephews.
