Betty Pafk

Betty Pafk, of Akron, died May 22, 2020, passing away peacefully from natural causes at Absolut Care Skilled Nursing Facility in Gasport. She was born in Medina on Sept. 14, 1929 to Elmer and Vera Wagner.

Betty married Lawrence Pafk in 1948. She worked at Bell Telephone and at Sylvania in Batavia, and she always shared chores on the dairy farm while raising a family. Later on, she switched from cows to horses, helping at her son’s horse farm, and still sharing goodness with her children, grandchildren, and whomever else she could help. An avid Bills fan, Betty loved cooking and baking, and she was best known at St. Michael’s Church in Akron for her mac and cheese when needed.

Betty is survived by her children, Gary (Diane) Pafk and Keith (Lori) Pafk; and two grandchildren, Neil (Meg) Pafk and Kyle Pafk. She was from a family of eight. Her seven other siblings are the late Elmer (late Liz) Wagner, late Francis (late Stanley) Benben, Richard (late Joanne) Wagner, Esther (Richard) Brown, late Carol (late Carly) Schuebel, late Lois (Bob) Ayler, and Nancy (late Norman) Forbes. She is survived by many nieces and nephews, of whom she was proud.

The memorial service will be private.

Memorials would be appreciated in Betty’s honor to St. Michael’s Church, 6377 Wolcottsville Road, Akron NY 14001.
