She is survived by her sister, Lela Shanks (DeKalb, IL), as well as several nieces and nephews, who will remember Betsy as a caring person whose heart beat for her family. She loved gathering her loved ones together for Thanksgiving and Christmas, some of the most precious times of her 90 years.
Much of her free time found her exercising her green thumb in her flower garden, which added a certain depth of beauty to her life. Inside, her hands kept busy crocheting, especially afghans, though she was talented enough to sew together clothes as well! While macular degeneration robbed her of her sight over twenty years ago, she was still able to see that she was loved by her family and by her cats, who were a source of constant companionship. Her legacy of love lives on within us, and we will never forget her.
A graveside service will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, July 27th at the Robinson New Cemetery.
