Betty was born in Philadelphia on December 6, 1920, the 2nd child of 5 to James C. Quirk, Sr. and Agnes G. (nee McCormick). The family moved to Collingswood when she was 2. Betty spent 87 years on Merrick Avenue, with her parents then moved up to the next block with her beloved husband, Edward S. Feasler where they eventually became the parents of 7 children.

On Christmas Eve in 2008, Betty suffered a stroke and after a brief time in rehabilitation, she moved in with her oldest daughter in Blue Anchor with whom she lived until her death. Even suffering a stroke couldn't keep her down!
