Betty was born in Sunbury on October 8, 1934, a daughter of the late William C. and Dorothy E. (Poyer) Krohn.

With Betty being the sister to three brothers made her bold. She had her eye on an upper classmate George at Selinsgrove High School. She hopped in his car and asked for a ride. They married on August 30, 1952, and were together for 61 years when George passed away in 2014. Since that day she wanted to be with him again. Soon after moving to York, she volunteered for Contact York and was part of a homemaker’s group that she enjoyed for years, but enjoyed being with family first. In her spare time, she enjoyed working in her gardens, golfing, playing Bridge and was also a great seamstress, making all of her own drapes. She was a member of Faith U.C.C in York.

Mrs. Cawley leaves a son, Steven G. Cawley and his companion, Sylvia of Hellam: a daughter, Sandy L. Preston and her husband Steven of Dover; three grandchildren, Steven, Jr., and his wife Lauren, Destiny and husband Mickey, and Adam; a great grandson, Jason; a brother, Jack Krohn; her best friend Glenda; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by two brothers, Dick and Bill Krohn.
