HANCOCK - Elizabeth “Betty” Ann Large, 78, of Suttons Bay, formerly of Hancock, passed away peacefully into the hands of our Lord on Friday evening, June 30, 2017 at Tendercare of Leelanau.

Betty was born Feb. 6, 1939 in Hancock the daughter of Leonard and Irene (Lehto) Johnson.  She graduated from Hancock High School and attended the University of Michigan. 

Betty was able to spend her final days surrounded by her beloved daughters and sister prior to her passing.  She enjoyed travelling, Broadway musicals, playing cards, gardening, her pets, but most of all Betty was a devoted mother and grandmother.  Betty was known for her immaculate house and phenomenal cooking in which the aroma of her delectable cinnamon rolls could be smelled over a block away!

She will be remembered for her relentless, dedicated and unwavering love for her family.  Grandma Betty’s “The Sky is the Limit” attitude when hosting her loved ones will always be her trademark and missed by all!  Betty adored her “little cherubs” and they are comforted knowing she is now safe and at peace in the loving arms of Jesus Christ our Savior.
