Betty S. Velarde May 4, 1913 - August 15, 2008 At age 95, has joined her beloved husband Anastacio in rest.

The family wishes to express their heartfelt thanks to the wonderful staff of Sutter VNA Hospice, the community of Sunrise Assisted Living of San Mateo, and especially to Zeze for her compassionate care of Betty in her final 18 months. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, August 20, 2008, at St. Matthew Catholic Church, 1 Notre Dame Avenue at So. El Camino Real in San Mateo.
