It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Betty A. Trautman, who died on July 11, 2026, at the age of 88 after a battle with dementia. While our hearts are broken, we take comfort in knowing that her suffering is over and she is finally at rest.

Betty is predeceased by her husband, Gary and parents, Ella and Lynn Bergman. Betty will be lovingly remembered by her sons, Guy (Jennifer), Glen (Susan), and Gregg; brother, Michael. Betty will also be fondly remembered as Grandma by her eight grandchildren, Guy Jr., Ryan, Viktoria, Sarah, Elizabeth, Clarise, Nicole, and Shane. Fourteen great-grandchildren and two great great-grandchildren will also be missing her dearly.

Betty worked at Crossman Arms for over 30 years, and before that, she worked for the Canandaigua School District. Many of you will remember Betty as an avid gardener, reader, and bird watcher along with being a great cook. Her children and grandchildren will always talk about her famous monkey bread.

Betty loved the poem “Somewhere My Friends” by Karen Lee Hunt and wishes that we share pieces of the poem with you, “Something has happened to keep us apart. I’ll meet you again, I’m not sure how, and I’m not sure when.” Betty sends this to all of those in her life: “I love you all very much!”

There will be no funeral services per Betty’s request. The family will have a private celebration of life at a later date.

In Betty’s memory, please go outside and enjoy the sunshine.
