Mary Betty Hill Wallace

She had great memories of Corpus Christi and the Naval Air Station, where her father was a Navy doctor, but most of her life was spent in San Antonio.

Betty graduated from Jefferson High School and Monticello College in Alton, IL., then attended UT in Austin.

Betty made her debut in 1953, as Duchess of Swiss Forests in the Court of Opera. She then went to work for Slick Moorman Oil Co.

She was actively involved with the Jr. League, Battle of Flowers, San Antonio Country Club, San Antonio Fiesta Commission and was president of Veinte y Uno Investment Club.

Betty was an avid golfer, her motto was: "Golf is a Game, enjoy it, play fast and take care of the golf course".

She also loved the Chicago Cubs and Texas Longhorns-Hook'em! Her other favorite pastimes were fishing at Port A and dove hunting.

Betty is survived by her husband of 56 years, David M. Wallace and three children, Betsy Hoffman and husband Rocky, David Wallace, Jr., and wife Michelle, and Anne Hill Wallace; grandchildren: Jennifer Hoffman Harrison and her husband John, and Kristy Hoffman; brother Herbert W. Hill, nieces and nephews, Mary Katherine Higgins, Herb Hill, Jr. and wife Linda, Sally Hill and husband Gary Ferguson, and John Hill and his wife, Holly; and Betty's "God Daughter Dear": Anne Mortimer Ballantyne and her husband Steve.
