Betty Santanello Obituary

Betty Santanello, age 84, of Greenville, SC, passed away on April 11, 2026. She was born in Meadville, PA to Harold and Janet Shorts.

Betty's life was deeply rooted in her family. She loved with a strength and intensity that left a lasting impression on everyone who knew her. Her devotion showed in the time she gave, the care offered, and the way she stood by those she held close. She was a woman of strong spirit - those who knew her best felt the depth of her love.

She is survived by her children, Steven Santanello (Leigh), and Randi Warner (Randy); her grandchildren, Paislie Marchant (Luke), Chase Warner, Blake Warner; great-grandchildren, Grace, Levi, Rosie and Everett Marchant; and her brother, Grant Shorts.

Betty was preceded in death by her mother, father and two brothers.

She will be laid to rest in Meadville, PA. No services are planned, and her family will honor her privately.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Gentiva Hospice, [email protected].
