I remember when I first knew her and I told her the beige colored items in her wardrobe just didn’t match her vibrant “be bold” personality. She convinced me to go shopping with her several times to suggest new color combinations. She quickly caught on and never wore anything beige ever again. She loved having her outside match her...

Betsy always had a smile & kind word. She will be missed by her Coleman school mates.
