A woman of extreme courage and always more upbeat than circumstances seemed to allow. Incredibly generous of spirit and personal time (to friends, workmates, your exchange students) You were a priceless example for the rest of us. And, I know you are safe in the beyond, but we miss you here. Rest well.

I will miss your calls I see your smile, laugh, optimistic and love for everyone, I will miss you my friend, you left us all with a legacy to be a role model like you. God Bless and keep you safe.

To my WSU roomate and friend of 41 years, I learned so much from you about the fun of life. Thank you for your smile and all the fun we had.

I will always remember your warm smile and the courage you had to raise the boys on your own. You welcomed me into your home and made me feel like a part of your little family. You were always more than just a neighbor, but a friend. Thank you for being a part of my life and I wished to have been able to be a part of yours again. I will treasure the memories always...rest in Peace.

You always had a smile, kind words and a trip in "the works". We will miss you!

We love you, Betsy and your courage, warmth, generosity and spirit live on in our hearts. You touched our lives in a very special way. Our condolences to the family.

Rest in peace..
