    Elizabeth “Betty” Bathke, 90, of North Chittenango passed away Wednesday at her home. Born in Canastota, Betty was a life resident of the Chittenango area. She was employed for 44 years at General Electric in Syracuse retiring in 1992 and is a member of Local 320 – G.E. retirees. Betty was generous and unselfish, and it wasn’t unusual for Betty to silently donate to several charitable organizations in Madison County throughout her lifetime. She was an avid life long bowler bowling in several local leagues, a fan of the NY Yankees and SU Basketball and enjoyed gardening and canning. She is survived by a niece Tina Jensen. In keeping with Betty’s wishes there are no calling hours. Graveside services will be held in the spring at the Fyler Settlement Cemetery. Contributions in her memory may be made to Wanderer’s Rest, Sutherland Dr. Canastota, NY 13032.

    Very sad to see that Betty passed away. I bowled on Betty's team at Bowl Mor Lanes for many years. She loved to bowl and she a fierce competitor! I loved her independent spirit and you could always count on Betty to tell it like it is. We developed a enduring friendship that continued to this day. She was a special lady who I will miss deeply. Rest in peace Betty.
