Betsy & I were friends through grade school (Emerson), Jr & Sr high (Rainier Beach and then we were next door neighbors in Bryn Mawr for several years. After she moved I continued to see her on her mail route in downtown Seattle. My sincere condolences to family & friends ( albeit so late)

Betsy was immediately memorable and lovable. She came in the door bringing my mail and we became instant friends. I looked forward to seeing her every day. People like her don't come along very often and they leave quite a void when they leave. My condolences to her family....

I met Betsy many years ago at Rainier Beach High School. Even back then, she was one of a kind. Betsy enjoyed her life, when she laughed, it came from deep down and there was nothing pretentious about her.
I lost touch with Betsy over the years and am sadden to hear of her passing. I know she leaves a large void in the life of all that loved her.

To all of Betsy's family, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I will always remember Betsy in PV and her signature "Bepsi Loca" is here in the house! Painting Rio Cuale rocks for the Animal Protection Assoc. fund raisers with her mom Sylvia. Her warmth and love of all things was so contagious. All who met Betsy were blessed and very fortunate. RIP my friend.

To the family and friends of Betsy Hamel, our heartfelt condolences to you. While we didn't know her personally, as friends of your sister Marc Ellen, we've learned just how much she was loved by so many people. Your loss is great, but the memory of her will carry on for a very long time. Peace to you all.

She excepted me for who I am and not what others wanted me to be. She welcomed me to the family with no question asked. She will be missed by so many people. She was one of a kind. RIP Betsy no more pain.
