Betty Brandman Obituary

Betty Mae (Fink) Brandman

Betty Mae (Fink) Brandman, 96, passed away Sunday, May 5, 2024, in Findlay, after a period of declining health.

Betty was born April 10, 1928, in Toledo, to Anna and Samuel Fink. After growing up in Toledo, Betty met and married Jack Brandman and joined him in Findlay. Jack passed away July 11, 1992.

While her primary focus was raising their four children, she developed great talent in culinary skills, Interior decorating, gardening, and art. Her artistry filled Jack and Betty's farmhouse Brandmanor. She made great Christmas cookies!

She served on the board of Woman's National Farm and Garden Association. She was a long-time member of Findlay Country Club and Temple Congregation Shomer Emunim. She was also a member of Tucson Symphony Women's Association.

She was preceded in death by her older brother, Jerome Fink; and older sister, Helen Burke.
