Halte's five children. She was a lifelong resident of Whittier, California, and graduated from

Betty married James (Bud) Cauley on July 21, 1969 in Oahu, Hawaii, and the island of Maui
remained a special place in their life together. They raised two sons, Kenny and Cary (Bubba).
The time spent with their children, grandchildren, her siblings, extended family and abundance
of friends was precious to her.

Betty loved to dance, sing, attend bible study, listen to music, play Bunco, and, most of all,
laugh. Betty was a passionate volunteer with many service organizations within her community:
WAC, WHS Alumni, Womens' Guild of St. Bruno's Catholic Church, WPCC, and YLFC
Childrens' Ministries. She was an instructor with Marilyn Grant's Dancerobics for 40 years and
a founding member of the annual Pounds Avenue Fourth of July Block Party.

husband of 53 years, Bud; sons, Ken (Krisha), and Cary (Christina), stepdaughter, Cheryl
(Russ) Williams; brothers, Don (Barbi), John (Jackie), and sister, Rosanne Halte Santoro;
grandchildren, Kira, Kennadi, Kaitlin, Kamden, and Lowe Cauley, Hannah (Paul) Sheats,
Kimberly Williams and Bryan (Ashley) Deger; 3 great grandchildren; many nieces and nephews;
and a large extended family.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 11am on Saturday, October 1, 2022, at Yorba Linda Friends
