Betty taught high school English for forty-four years, retiring at age seventy to continue to golf and travel the world with Charlie. She was the ultimate wife, mother, pastor’s wife, teacher, and choir organizer and director – all at the same time! Her energy, enthusiasm, and caring were boundless!

Mrs.. Elson was my English teacher at Washington High School in Washington , Indiana back in the early 1960s. She was a wonderful woman and a fine, fine teacher. My favorite memory of her is, I think, a humorous one. I tell this story often. One day, we were taking a grammar test in her class, fittingly enough. While she was handing out the mimeographed exams, one kid in the back row held up his hand and proclaimed, "I ain't got no pencil," breaking virtually every rule in the English language all at once. Mrs. Elson was so appalled, she actually gasped, brought a hand to her chest, and took a step backwards. I don't remember if the poor kid ever got a writing instrument, but I certainly still remember her reaction to his stated plight. (He became a pharmacist, by the way.) Rest in Peace, Mrs. Elson.
