    Aunt Betsy was the best. She always was so nice to me as a kid and never had a bad word to say about anybody. I have found memories of her. She was a GREAT one.

    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…….
