It was very sad to hear about Betty’s passing away. She was such a lovely lady, and such a fighter. My thoughts and prayers are with the whole family in this difficult time.
I was so sad to hear of Betty’s passing. She and her family moved to Capitol Hill next door to my family many years ago. I was a very young girl and Betty was such a positive force in my life. I watched her four children many summers and loved them all. Betty was so kind to me over the years and I admired her so much. Her energy, creativeness, sense of humor and compassion were strong influences for me. My thoughts and prayers are with her lovely family. Love ya Betty!
We had many wonderful times together. Growing up in the same neighborhood.. God Bless She has been a life long friend. Bill
I worked with Betty At Group Health for many years.
She was always soft spoken, chic, and funny.
We had many wonderful times together, not the least
being a dinner out at Veto’s which ended up quite comical.
My memories of Betty will always be a smile on my face.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you Drummey’s.
I am very sorry to hear about Betty. I went to Seattle U with her and also worked with her as a med tech. I worked with her at Group Health. She was full of life and fun to be around, I’m sure your family will miss her terribly.
I was a long time friend of Betty Ann. We had great times at Sonics games and weekends in Port Townsend. Please have John call me. 360-898-7968.
Betty will be greatly missed.
