Betsy Rene Carroll Barrett
Nov. 29, 1950 - Jan. 2, 2011
A memorial service honoring Betsy Barrett, 60, of Coos Bay, will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 8, at First Presbyterian Church, 2238 Pony Creek Road in North Bend.
Betsy was born Nov. 29, 1950, in Rochester, Minn., to Eugene Francis Carroll and Caroline Clark Carroll. She passed away unexpectedly Jan. 2, 2011, at Bay Area Hospital.
Betsy attended public schools in Rochester and Minneapolis and graduated from Washburn High School in Minneapolis.
She went on to attend Arapahoe Community College in Denver, Colo., then moved to Honolulu, Hawaii, for a couple of years. She later earned an associate degree in court reporting through the Denver Academy of Court Reporting.
Betsy moved in 1981 to Myrtle Point, where she began her career as a court reporter with Knoll Reporting Service. She then worked as a court reporter for the state of Oregon, working for the Honorable Robert F. Walberg and the Honorable Martin E. Stone. She continued to work for Coos County Courthouse for 18 years, after which time she started her own business as a freelance court reporter.
As a court reporter, she met and fell in love with Michael Ramsay Barrett, who worked for the Coos County Forestry Department, while he was on jury duty. They were later married in 1985 and went on to enjoy 25 years of marriage.
Betsy loved the arts and music and was known throughout the community for her involvement in the Sawdust Theatre and Little Theatre On the Bay. She loved to entertain others and will be remembered for her sense of humor and infectious laughter. She enjoyed cooking, traveling, and spending time with family and her dog, Kenda.
Betsy is survived by her husband, Michael Barrett of Coos Bay; stepdaughter, Kara O'Halloran of Massachusetts; stepson, Aaron Barrett of Georgia; mother, Carol Wunderlich of Arizona; sisters, Julie Kirkpatrick and Cindy Anderson of Colorado; and nephews, Brandon Carroll, Ian and Colin Kirkpatrick, and Clark and Corey Anderson.
