I always saw my aunt Betty as an accomplished woman. Educated, sensible and smart. Her success in employment came during a time when it was a man's world, which gives witness to her fortitude. I enjoy her company when she and uncle Mahlon would come for holiday dinners. I often wondered with her limited vision how she always managed to dress impeccably. Aunt Betty was, to me, genteel and a woman of deep faith. Due to her positive demeanor the world was a better place with her in it and I will miss her.
