Betty was born in Cuernavaca, Morelos Mexico on November 25, 1983 to Genoveva Ayala Beltran and Vicente Valdepeña Rey. Betty arrived in Longmont, Colorado in 1995 and had lived there ever since. Betty was known to have a sparkly personality, just like the sparkles that she loved to wear on herself and her makeup. She was a strong woman, a loving mother who tried to give her all, despite the circumstances. She tried her best to always be happy and cheerful with a smile on her face. She had a generous heart and was always willing to help people, even if it was with a good listening ear. Betty was a loving wife and mother who will be dearly missed by all who smiled at her jokester personality.
