Elizabeth "Betty" Ann Moreland, 57 of Callaway, MD passed away on April 14, 2009, at St. Mary's Hospital, Leonardtown, MD.

Born April 8, 1952 in LaPlata, MD, she was the daughter of the late George and Olive Mary Knobel Moreland.

Ms. Moreland was a purchasing agent for CSC (Computer Science Corp.). She was a determined and adept taskmaster as the primary Standards Procurement Specialist for the U.S. Navy Metrology community, as well as being a mentor, counselor and friend to all those around her. She had been a fundamental part of the calibrations laboratory acquisition section since her employment in November of 1984.

She was a devoted mother and grandmother. She was an excellent cook and enjoyed hosting the family for holidays, especially at Christmas. Betty was an avid gardener and loved to plant flowers and trees of any kind. Her favorite past time was sitting on her porch overlooking her massive garden and enjoying the wildlife. Most of all she loved a good yard sale. Any given Saturday at the crack of dawn, you were guaranteed to find her heading out to search for that next great find at a yard sale. She was a great inspiration to family, friends and the community. She went out of her way to help anyone and everyone in need. She touched the lives of everyone she came in contact with. To know Betty was to know true humanity and compassion, she was and is very much loved by all.

Ms. Moreland is survived by her sons; BJ Moreland of Dameron, MD, Jesse Moreland, Sr., (Scherrie), of Dameron, MD and Travis Quade, of Callaway, MD, companion of 25 years, Joseph Quade, of Callaway, MD, grandson, Jesse "LJ" Moreland, Jr., siblings; Eddie Moreland, of SC, George Moreland, Jr. of Waldorf, MD, Lisa Moreland of Great Mills, MD and Temple Cargill of LaPlata, MD.
