I am saddened to learn of Bettie’s passing. I was one of her students at the Beavercreek Y when she taught a variety of water aerobics classes. She was loved by her students, but we knew she loved us too. It as always a joy to talk to Bettie because of her many interests, and she was always eager to talk about art, books, and movies that interested her. Bettie had the spiritual gift of hospitality. I send my deepest condolences to Bettie’s family and her many friends. She will live on in our hearts and good memories, and now she walks with the angels.
