Sorry for your loss...Will miss her at the Methodist Temple.  Melba Patberg

Doug, Betsy, and the rest of the Dailey family, I am sorry for your loss. I didn't know Betsy well, but she always had a smile or a kind word for Shelley and I. I am glad I got to meet her during her lifetime.
Harry

Always laughter and a sweet smile when around her she made you feel special!

An aunt whose love, kind words, and bright outlook never failed to brighten my life. I will think of you as I tend my gardens and feel the sun on my face. An angel on earth now in heaven. Love always. Anna


I have so many fond memories of growing up in Newburgh, Indiana and sharing a special childhood with Mrs. Fenner's daughter Betsy.   I was always welcome in their home and was in awe of the many interests and accomplishments of Betsy's mom.  She was a lovely lady, kind-hearted, and filled with compassion for all living things.  

Sending my deepest condolences to your family from Canberra, Australia.

Doug:  I am saddened to learn about your loss of Betsy. I have wonderful memories of both of you. Because I met and knew you as a bachelor, I remember your joy when Betsy came into your life.  You were the proverbial schoolboy in love. And obviously she was smitten.  Your marriage was a lovely union of two kindred spirits. I remember her as a soft, warm and gentle lady who loved you so much. You were so good for each other.
 I regret that I lost contact with you after I left Evansville many years ago. You have a  lasting place in my heart, Doug. I shall be thinking about you at this very sad time.
With my love—Dee

Growing up, I always felt so welcome at your home, and I have many cherished memories of those times.  You are all in my prayers as you mourn the loss of such a dear and special lady!

All of us in State College Pennsylvania send our sympathy to everyone in Indiana, and beyond.   I know our kids (Karen and Mark) are saddened by this event and send their condolences too.  One memory we all enjoyed of Betsy was playing croquet on the lawn of her Bellemeade house with Doug.  We all had a lot of fun doing that, and appreciated how sweet Betsy was with the kids while playing.  We also remember playing Monopoly, Dominoes, and cards in the Dining room.   It was there that Mark was comically dubbed Mr. Monopoly at the ripe age of 7, but more importantly, we all enjoyed the good-natured fun.

Betsy kept her house lovely, and it was a nice reprieve to be there.  We used to enjoy looking at all of the artwork in her home.  We even have a couple of Betsy's pieces of art in our house.  They are hanging mainly in our central hallway, so we get to enjoy them every day.  She did beautiful artwork.  (I, Patti, dabbled in art, but always felt that people like Betsy were "real" artists.   I personally was truly impacted by her love of nature, and enjoyed how she saw the world from an artist's point of view.)

These are a few of our fond memories of Betsy. 

We send our sympathy to everyone.
Sincerely,
Bob, Patti, Karen and Mark Fenner
 (State College, PA)
