Betty L. Tansey

She was one of ten surviving siblings of Amos and Emma Jorgenson.

She moved to Scottsdale, AZ in December 1971 and passed away

peacefully on August 1st, 2015. Her volunteer work at the VFW for

our Veterans, The Phoenix JC's, and The Parada Del Sol Committee

are well known. She lived a life of love and compassion, bringing joy

and fun to everyone that knew her. A wonderful Sister, Aunt, Mother

and Grandmother and friend who now leaves behind her daughter Pat,

her son Michael and her two grandchildren, Joelle and Christopher. She

also considered Paul her son from her marriage to Richard Seidenkranz

who passed away on Easter Sunday of this year. She will be deeply

missed by all of the lives that she touched especially by Michael and Pat

who were given the opportunity to have an Angel for a Mom!

Godspeed 'Betty Boop'!

Her ashes will be laid to rest in Strawberry, AZ sometime in September.

Anyone interested in attending, please leave an entry on this site or

Ode to 'Betty Boop' Tansey

They all knew her as 'Betty Boop'

A quick-witted little spitfire

Truly fun and joyous to be around

Compassionate and loving was her loop

She came to be a Mother

And raised two kids almost on her own

With the help of a good neighbor and friend

Began a career as an escrow officer

No matter how busy she became

President of VFW Ladies Auxiliary

Arranging for the parade

She always remained calm and tame

When Dicky began his courting

Her empty heart was filled again

A true bond of Love was formed

That no one can dispute its making

"Lets go Dicky! Sky-miles are collecting"

To exotic places they would go

The "Energized Bunny" was always ready

A Life of Fun once again she was embarking

Heartbreak and loss took its toll

News of another brother dying

Her whole body filled with cancer

Hope diminished and left her soul

Her life was filled with such joy

Her love for others was unsurpassed

But it was time to go Home and be with Dicky

So she left peacefully into Jesus' Ploy

We will all miss you Mom! M. A. T. 8/4/15
