I was fortunate to know Betty for a few
years and yes she was amazing. Prior to her death and while she was
in fairly good health and with the assistance of her daughter Robynne
they went through paperwork and artifacts from her volunteer work.
She generously donated it to the Cupar museum and we have started to
catalogue it. Thank you to Kevin Bonish for delivering the big
boxes.This endeavor will continue next year. I knew she volunteered
for a lot of local groups but did not realize how very active she was
until her memorial.
When I arrived at the memorial I
noticed a table at the front with Betty's photo, a purse and
overnight bag amongst other things. It was only when Robynne began to
talk about the purse did I begin to understand. Robynne told stories
based on Betty's purse. How the contents really told us about the
life and concerns of Betty. It was very touching and I actually began
to think about the contents of my own mother's purse and what those
items said about her.
Thank you Betty you truly one of a
kind.
