I worked with Betsy many years ago at Bethesda Care Center. Always remember her as a caring Director of Nursing and A great employee.
So sorry. Loved working with her. I’ll never forget the lessons I learned from her. She was always teaching. And her version of The Night Before Christmas won’t be topped. Prayers
Sorry for your loss, I was privileged to work with Betsy for a few years at the Bethesda Care Center. She will be missed. Rosalyn Vogler
So very sorry to hear about Betsy. Thinking of you all.
So sad at the loss of Betsy. She was much loved by all of us at St. Vincent de Paul. She was a tireless worker for the poor.
Betsy was a true friend to anyone in need – compassionate, energetic, and always positive. She inspired me, both in my healthcare career and in my retirement. I will always treasure her friendship.
So sorry to hear about Betsy. She was a wonderful person. Prayers to you all.
