I will never forget Betty. She welcomed me to the Country Club Quilters when I was just beginning to quilt and I learned to enjoy her sense of humour and her beautiful creations.

We at the Country Quilters Monday group have fond memories of Betty. We loved seeing the sweaters she knitted and the quilts she was working on. She is missed by all of us. Julie Baldwin
