She is survived by her three daughters Evans Dowdy, Holly Rison (Townes) and Robin Kelley; granddaughter, Mallory Sutherland (Sean) and grandsons, Erik (Elizabeth) and Billy (Sarah Krumholz) Rison. She was a terrific “Great Mimi” to her great grandsons, Hank and Gabe Sutherland.
Betty was loved by all and was known to have a playful sense of humor. She enjoyed traveling the world with David, playing tennis and golf, was a skillful artist and a committed knitter to the end.
