Betty Shull, wife of Gordon Shull, peacefully passed from her extraordinary life on July 12, 2020 at Wooster LifeCare. She was 94.
Clinical psychologist and counselor, church elder and presbyter, educator, choir member, volunteer, life-long learner, world traveler, Ohio Light Opera enthusiast, and devoted friend, wife, and mother, Betty's brimming life was centered on her first love - people.
Betty Flabb Shull was born in Springfield, Illinois on May 15, 1926 to Fred and Gladys Flabb. She earned her Bachelor's Degree from Park College, Missouri, and her M.S. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Illinois (1950), where she met Gordon. They moved to Wooster in 1955 for Gordon's job as Professor at the College of Wooster.
In 1956 Betty inaugurated the clinical counseling program at the College of Wooster where she served thousands of students, faculty, and staff for 37 years.
Her volunteer work was extensive and continued into her 90's. It focused mainly on the First Presbyterian Church of Wooster where she held many leadership positions, including as director of its highly regarded Adult Education program.
She also served in the City of Wooster's counseling service; supported her dear friend and colleague Dr. Viola Startzman in the Viola Startzman Clinic; and taught the "Art of Listening" course to volunteers in Wooster's LifeCare hospice for 30 years. After retirement, she and Gordon volunteered in Egypt with the Coptic Evangelical Organization for Social Programs, which promotes community-based development and education throughout the country.
Her long and blessed life touched people in positive ways. Her companionship, love of music, and warm laugh enriched her family and all who knew her. The life she made fuller for so many will live on in rich and happy memories.
Betty is survived by Gordon, her husband of almost 68 years, and sons Philip (Jill Bollom), David, and Andrew (Cheryl Rowland), five grandchildren, and countless loving friends.
