Betty Ruth Colangeli

Betty Ruth Colangeli, 81, of 550 Janus Road, Palm Bay, Florida, died Sunday, Nov. 27.
Betty was born on Oct. 15, 1935 in Atlanta, Georgia, the daughter of Joseph Brown Byrd and Ruth Belle (Bryan) Byrd. She graduated from Southwest High School in Atlanta. She met her husband Bernard Leo Colangeli, of Hull, Massachusetts and deceased March 5, 2007, while he was serving in the Air Force in Amarillo, Texas. They initially made their home in Hull, but soon moved to Rumney, New Hampshire, where together they raised three boys and were the owner-operators of the Mountain View Motel and Colangeli's Cash Market. Later in her life, Betty became a CNA and got much joy in the capacity of a private duty nurse.
Upon retirement, Betty and Bernard moved to Palm Bay, Florida, where they finished out their 53 happy years together.
She is survived by her brother, Richard Byrd and his wife Evelyn of Devine, Texas; sons Michael and his wife Michele of Palm Bay, Florida, William and his wife Tina of Belmont, Bernard Jr. and Carol of Laconia; three grandchildren, Angela Valliancourt and husband Tracy of Laconia, Anthony Colangeli and his wife Melissa of Rumney, Carol Hyslop and her husband Kenneth of Gilmanton; five great-grandchildren, Americo, Justin, Samantha, Jonathan, and Dominick; two great-great-grandchildren, Zachary and Alan as well as many nieces and nephews.
