Betty Ren Wright Frederiksen

Betty Ren Wright was by far my favourite author when I was a child. I always told my friends to read her books. Even as an adult, I enjoy re-reading her books, as I have collected a few of my favourites. I was so sad to hear of her passing and didn't know how to convey how much of an impact her books made to me in developing a passion for reading and writing. Seeing how many of the other entries are people like me gives me lots of happiness and joy that her work will continue to be loved by...

Ms. Wright's stories were my favorite when I was a child. "The Dollhouse Murders" and "Ghosts Beneath our Feet" were my favorites, read so many times, they fell apart and I was no longer allowed to count them toward how many books I read that quarter. My daughter is now 8 and just finished "A Ghost in the House." As soon as she closed the book she begged me to order all the books Betty Ren Wright ever wrote. Luckily for me, I still owned a few. I'm excited to see just how many books Ms....

My son is 8 years old and has never taken an interest in reading no matter what I have tried. Then the teacher gave him this book - The Ghost Comes Calling. He just finished it last night which is why I googled the author only to learn of the beautiful life she lead along with other stories I know he will want to read. Thank you so much and God Bless you and your family. How beautiful that you will continue to impact children in such a positive light for future generations. This book has...

Betty Ren was a big part of my childhood in Milwaukee as we are first cousins. She was a humorous and great storyteller, not just in her books. My 10 year old granddaughter enjoys her books. Betty Ren was always interested in others. .She touched many hearts and will live on through us.

I never met Betty, but she has give me the most wonderful daughter-in-love that I would ever imagine. My son is so blessed to have found and married Betty's granddaughter in 2006. My sone tells me wonder stories about this precious lady and I am honored to be connected to her in this small way. The angels rejoice that one of God's best has made it home! God bless my daughter-in-love, Renee as she says "goodby for now".

Betty Ren has been a dear friend of my mother's since Downer College days. I will always remember her for the book she wrote about my brother's room, entitled Scotty's Room. I also have a special collection of Betty Ren books that I kept when my mother passed.

Betty was a wonderful person that I only knew for a short time. Her warm personality filled an area with a welcoming and friendly aura. My only regret is that I did not know her for as long or as well as others have. The short time I knew her, she made a lasting impression.

Betty was a wonderful woman that I only knew a short time. Her warm personality filled a room with a soft and welcoming feeling. My only regret is that I did not get to meet her sooner or know her longer as other did.

Betty Ren has always been a much-loved, extraordinary friend and colleague, as well as a superb publishing executive and a rare example of an intelligent children's book author and editor who graced the Western Publishing Company with great literature and success. We met during my 21 years at Western and our friendship continued during times later while Betty established her own published writings in the book field.

Much love to you, Betty Ren, Always & Forever !
