Betsy and Ralph shared 51 1/2 years of loving marriage and had two beloved children, Marjorie C (Marjie) and Walter E (Eddie).

Betsy treasured her time traveling and enjoyed a few cruises with family and friends. She especially loved spending time at Camp Lookout, a family hunting camp inthe Sproul State Forest, where she taught her children to appreciate the outdoors. She loved all animals but especially loved her cat, Peanut.

The family will hold a private memorial at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the SPCA of Clinton County, 33 Mill Hill Rd. Lock Haven, Pa, to honor her love for animals.
