I was the same age as Bettigail and she and I were the best of friends when we lived on Canal Street in Beardstown in the 1940s. We spent many hours riding bikes or playing restaurant to imitate my Aunt Genny Deitsch and Bettigail's mother, Twila, who owned and operated The Redwing Cafe. After my family moved to St Louis when we were 9 years I only saw Bettigail one more time in 1969 before we moved to Arizona. I remember her very fondly and from reading the obituary it sounds like she was as beautiful a person as she was a beautiful lady in her photo. Please accept my condolences.
