So sorry to learn of your loss. Betsy and my husband, Bill, had great times working on Washington HS Reunions in the early days. (What a coincidence it is that their obituaries ran in the paper on the same day.)
In later years, Betsy and I also worked on reunions together. Our planning sessions were always followed by lunch. Spending time with her was a joy. I am in Palm Springs and sad to have missed the funeral.

Our sympathy that Betsy has passed. We shared many good hockey chats with her and all her family, whom we had known for many, many years. She has joined her family and we know they are sharing many good stories and we think of each of them. May she rest in peace.

So sad to learn of Betsy's passing. She was such a dear friend for so many years. Our sincere condolences to her lovely family. Dennis and I are "wintering" in Ft. Myers FL until mid May so we will not be in attendance at her memorial service but our thoughts and prayers will surely be with you.

Betsy was such a wonderful lady. She always seemed so happy and was so funny. She loved her family and hockey. She was always proud of her children and grand children. She was a joy to be around. I will miss her much. I knew her from work, but considered her a friend. A fellow December baby.
