Streator Area United Way

It is with grateful hearts that we remember Betty DiGusto, whose funeral services will be held Friday March 27, 2026 at St Michaels. Visitation will be 10-11 with the funeral mass at 11.

Betty D was the dedicated and compassionate force behind the Streator Area United Way. Through her work, she helped uplift countless individuals and families in our community, always leading with kindness, generosity, and a deep commitment to helping others. Her passion for service made a lasting impact on our programs and on everyone who had the privilege of working alongside her.

Betty worked tirelessly to make Streator a better place for all. Even after dedicating her working life to the United Way she continued volunteering her time. She always embodied the very spirit of what United Way stands for.

Her legacy will live on through the lives she touched and the good she helped create. We are forever grateful for her dedication and will carry her memory forward in all that we do.

Please join us in keeping Elizabeth’s family, friends, and all who loved her in your thoughts and prayers.
