Betty Revel Hughes, very hospitable

Betty Revel Hughes, 81, of Delmar, passed away in the care of Coastal Hospice at the Lake in Salisbury, Md., Monday, July 25, 2016.

She was born in Dover, Jan. 1, 1935, to the late Elmer and Hilda Dodd Revel, and she was proud of the fact that she was the first baby born in Delaware in 1935. She was a life-long resident of Sussex County and was a member of Faith Baptist Church in Delmar, Md. She volunteered for several years in the nurse's office at Sussex Central Middle School. "Mom-mom Betty" was defined by her cooking and made sure everyone ate. Hospitality was her way. She was a very determined woman who never gave up. She also loved animals.

She is survived by three children: Sharon White and her husband Lewis of Easley, S.C., Tracy Revel and husband Gary of Delmar, and Aubrey Cordrey, whose wife Pamela preceded, of Magnolia. She was also preceded by her brother, James Revel; and survived by her sister-in-law, Doris. She is also survived by a sister Helen Pepper and her husband Edwin of Georgetown; and nine grandchildren: Christi Anthony and husband Bryan, Dana Rongione and husband Jason, Lewis Linn White Jr. and wife Brandi, Melanie Gutierrez and husband Rey, Rebekah Stevens and husband Jarod, Samuel Cordrey, Sarah Cordrey, Rachel Cordrey and Peter Cordrey. There are three great-grandchildren: Victoria Abigail Anthony, Hampton James Anthony and Erin Marie White.
