BETTY SWEENEY
Dedication Betty has planted her own garden of life and has decorated her own soul rather than wait for someone to bring her flowers. And she has learned that she really can endure ...that she really is strong ..and she really does have worth. She is my best friend. Prologue: " ..Speak to us of love.. When love beckons.. follow " Kahlil Gibran Epilogue: "..Speak to us of friendship...Your friend is your need answered.." Kahlil Gibran THE PURPOSE and JOY OF A DEAR FRIEND Our lives are things of beauty and mystery. Of beauty — because it represents our souls; Of mystery — because it combines the invisible yesterday, and the unknown tomorrow. Perhaps we come this way, To fill each others special needs. This is not always given to us to know — For As surely as the oceans' tides ebb and flow, Our lives were chartered countless world ago.
Born Feb. 26, 1921, in Milton, the daughter of Ira and Ethel (Wells) Everest and raised on the family farm in Milton, Betty was graduated from Milton High School in 1939.
She chose early retirement from the Milton Creamery in the late 60s to pursue life's more relaxing offerings of fishing, hunting, care of horses and being with her many friends. Betty was an accomplished carpenter having built her camp on Lake Champlain, her barns, and finally in 1976 she built her home on land which was within several hundred feet of where she was born and raised. She spent the last 30 years living there with her dear friend Marie whom she knew since early adulthood. Betty's strengths included a quiet trust in the goodness of people, and an exceptional talent for expressing "droll Vermont Humor". She brought careful attention and caring to so many with whom she associated. In the later years she displayed undaunted courage to live her life as normally as possible despite many aging physical in capacities. Betty enjoyed her daily visits to the village, with her special friends at the Milton Diner, Hannaford and Marty Branch's store. She would return home each day with the comment, They all love to tease me. Yes, her sense of humor and quiet repartee were much cherished by her family and friends alike. Those of us, who remain, know Betty has left a bit of herself behind to live on in the heart of each she has touched during her lifetime. With her passing , truly a golden heart stopped beating and a true friend was lost. Rest in peace, my dear friend. We will let our mourning be gentle; Uniting the various terms to which each of us has come in the acceptance of death into a single covenant. Marie - Ann O'Conner
