Betsy retired after 30 years at Nabisco in Portland, Oregon. After a year or so she got bored and went to work for Centennial School District where she drove school bus, predominately special needs children. Betsy worked hard her entire life. She loved her job driving the children, and the children loved her too. She had many cards they made for her and always had a great story to tell about them.

Betsy loved her family and friends – and she had many. She was the best mother, grandmother, sister, wife and friend she could be. She was truly a wonderful person. She had the kindest  heart and never said a harsh word about anyone.

She and I went on many trips over the years. We loved to travel together and really enjoyed extreme rides. We went on every roller coaster  or extreme ride we could find, from bungee jumping to zip lining and white water rafting. We had so much fun together.

Betsy, how could it have been five years since you departed this earth? Time really does go by quickly. We were supposed to be those “blue-haired twins,” who grew old together!  I celebrate your life every single day, and when the time is right, I will find you again. Remember, you have my necklace and I have yours – our hookup! Until we meet again Sis, I love you always –  your other half – Betty.
