Sunrise 1930 - Sunset 2025
Betty, a proud native of San Francisco, was the beloved daughter of Louis and Ida Shaffer, loving wife of the extraordinary Allen Simon, devoted and cherished mother to Debbi (Joe) and Sharon (Cliff).
Affectionately known as "Bubbe", Betty was adored by her loving grandsons, Joel (Lindy) and David (Leah) and treasured by her great-grandchildren Bennett, Delaney, Dylan, Allie, and Beau.
Family was the cornerstone of Betty's life. She shared close bonds with her aunts, uncles, cousins, and extensive circle of dear friends. Betty was renowned for her fashion sense, musical talents, sense of humor, and the warmth and kindness she extended to all she met.
The family extends their heartfelt thanks to the staff at The Magnolia in addition to Golden Heart. An extra special thank-you to Nathalia for the compassionate and loving care she provided to Betty and for being by her side, along with Debbi and Sharon, during her final weeks.
Betty's two greatest passions were her Jewish faith and love of animals. Therefore, in lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Temple Israel Music Fund or Dogwood Animal Rescue Project.
A private family service was held at Home of Peace Cemetery in Colma. A celebration of Betty's remarkable legacy will be planned at a later date.
Betty, you will forever remain in our hearts.
