Betty M. (Kocher) Itterly

Betty M. Itterly, 91, of Moore Township, passed away on Thursday, April 25, 2024, at Country Meadows Nursing & Rehabilitation Center in Bethlehem Township.  She was the wife of Charles C. Itterly.  The couple celebrated 70 years of marriage last July 25th.

Born in Delps, Moore Township, Betty was a daughter of the late Floyd A. and Cora M. (Fenstermaker) Kocher.  At a very young age, she began working on the 100 + acre family farm in Moore Township, before her employment in the garment industry, where she worked for several years and was a member of the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union.  Betty also was a certified reflexologist and developed a successful, in-home practice that spanned more than 30 years, before retiring in 2020.  Flowers and gardening were among her favorite pastimes; however, Betty and Charles shared many wonderful memories of boating and fishing trips throughout the years.  She was a member of Holy Cross Evangelical Lutheran Church in Moorestown. 

Survivors: In addition to her loving husband, Charles, she will be deeply missed by her daughter, Sally Itterly and Valerie Velardo, of Norwood, Massachusetts; along with many nieces and nephews and their families.

Betty was predeceased by four brothers, Willard, Lester, Gordon and Arling Kocher; and four sisters, Ella Edelman, Viola Dilliard, Alma Filchner, and Avada Rogers.
