Betty D. Sobczak, 88, of Corfu, passed away with her family by her side on Good Friday, April 19, 2019.
Betty was born on June 16, 1930, in Batavia, the loving daughter of the late Myron and Jessie (Pfennig) Dieter, of Corfu. She attended and graduated from Williamsville schools just before they moved to their farm in 1948.
Betty married Bernard F. Sobczak October 9, 1954, at Holy Name of Mary Church in East Pembroke. They resided at their “little slice of heaven” to this day on the family farm.
Betty retired in 1995 from M&T Bank in Corfu after 38 years as a teller and secretary. After retiring she was able to spend even more time enjoying the family that she built as it continued to grow to include three great-grandchildren; Taylor, Ethan and Loxley. As well as her spoiled grand dogs; Cloey, Otis, Callie, Murphy, and Earl.
She enjoyed life to the fullest, always putting family first. If she wasn’t in the kitchen cooking, you could find her watching QVC or in her beloved “beer garden” enjoying her family or her favorite view of the farm.
She is survived by: her best friend and devoted husband of 64 years, Bernard Sobczak; son John (Diane Smith) Sobczak; daughter Julie (Richard) Allein; granddaughter Loni (Randy) Fancher; grandson, Andy Sobczak; granddaughter Kelsey (Nick) Stephan; and three great-grandchildren.

Main Street, Corfu on Tuesday, April 23rd from 4 to 8 p.m. Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10 a.m. Wednesday, April 24th at St. Maximilian Kolbe Church (Holy Name of Mary site) 8656 Church St., East Pembroke, followed by internment at Evergreen Hill Cemetery in Corfu.
