I belong to Retired Teachers Organization (RTO) as a former school nurse-teacher. Member in craft club, garden club, antiques group (RTO), Lunch of the Month (RTO), two quilt clubs, bridge club, volunteer work at flu clinics and library and an election inspector.

Betty had a prickly personality at times. She was very quick to make a decision. She was a very good sister to Lena. When Lena and Russ both became ill in Arizona, they were running short of funds. Betty told them to come to Rochester and live with her. This was quite a sacrifice on her part as she had been widowed for some years and was used to being on her own. However, she opened her home to her sister and brother-in-law and took good care of them. When Lena started to need dialysis, Betty would drive her sister for the treatment. Betty loved to travel and when she went on trips, she put in place a support group for Lena.

Death was very hard for Betty. She was angry and would not talk to any of us her few last days in the hospital. She had given up and didn't want any more contact. I was surprised because she had had a relatively good life and had lived for a good length of time -- apparently, she felt she deserved more years.
