Fairbanks will never be the same without Betsy. She was a classmate & friend.
Her sister Jewel was a cheerleader along wth Jane & myself in 1952. We attended Fairbanks Main. Betsy knew how to throw a party. Every year she & Bert would host a grand get together for our classmates. God bless Bert & family at this sad time. Betsy will be greatly missed.

I am saddened to read of Betsy´s passing. I have known Betsy for 70+ years. We graduated from old Main in 1953. We have been friends for a long time. Sang in the St Mathew´s Choir , worked at the laundry in the summer and just hung out in our free time. I visited her and Bert in Palm Springs during Super Bowl for ten years. She is a special person and friend. I know Bert and the family will miss her greatly as well as I. Since I now live in Texas I will miss our telephone conversations. My prayer's for Bert and the family.
