I didn’t know Betsy long, but felt as if I knew her forever. Betsy was my sleep buddy when on Emblem State Meetings and Supreme Conventions. She was always very kind to me and we would spend a lot of time laughing. I’ll will always treasure the Emblem knowledge that she gave me. She was truly a special lady and I will miss her. Rest In Peace dear Betsy ! ❤️

Girls and family,
So, sorry to hear of Betsy’s passing. What a spirit she had. Everyone that knows
and loves her will be saddened to know she’s passed. Her and Mark were a very
fun couple. The parties we use to have with the Ole S.E. Hyman group. She’s back
with her love now and what joy and fun they must be sharing again.
R.I.P. Betsy…….
