Elizabeth J. Betty Wilson
Betty L. Wilson born February 18, 1925 died at the age of 78. At the time of her death she resided in Richland, where she has been in residence for the past three years. The date of her death was January 7, 2004 in Richland. She was a member of the Christ The King Catholic Church where funeral services will be held on Monday, January 12, 2004 at 11:30. The family has requested no flowers, however Betty has requested that any donations be forwarded to the Salvation Army.
Betty's death was preceded by the death of her husband Jim, son Richard and daughter Rebecca. Her three daughters Molly, Catherine and Sandra and her four sons Michael, Patrick, David and Larry, survive Betty. She also was the grandparent of 22 grandchildren and 5 great- grandchildren.
Betty was the daughter of Raymond and Grace Lindsey. She was the youngest child of four brothers and a sister. Betty was married to Jim Wilson on June 29, 1946. They raised their nine children in Anaheim, California, then retired to Punta Bunda, Mexico where they spent three wonderful years until her beloved husband died after almost 42 years of marriage. She lived her remaining years living near her daughter Cathy in Port Angeles and then Richland.
After services in Richland and Port Angeles, her ashes will be scattered in Irvine, California near her husband and two deceased children.
It has been my pleasure for the past year to get to know Betty. She was a friend and tablemate of my mother’s, Ruby Tindall at Richland Gardens. Betty had a wonderful sense of humor and I enjoyed the many times I sat at the dinner table with the ladies of table 24. Betty was appreciative and enjoyed the treats, desserts and dinners I brought occassionally throughout the year. Cathy was a great help in organizing some of the dinners and we all had a good time.I tried hard to keep her coffee cup filled and her Sweet and Low handy. It was my pleasure to bring just a little joy and change to the lives of “my ladies”. She will be missed and remembered by Melba, Vira, Ruby and myself as her place at the table sits sadly empty. It will never be the same.
I remember when Larry showed up as a surprise with flowers for Betty and I just happened to know who and where Betty sat. It was a precious moment to see the surprise and joy in her face.
Cathy was a wonderful and devoted daughter that Betty mentioned often with love and appreciation. It was wonderful to have gotten aquainted with Cathy as well.
I want to express deep sympathy to the family in your loss but be comforted by the thought that she loved and lived well.
