August 21, 1957 - July 22, 2021
As reported by Nancy Hessol ’75
I remember Betsy (born Elizabeth Lewis Marshall), with her long silky blond hair, porcelain skin, and tomboy athleticism.
She was the youngest of three sisters, a mother to two young men, a cat lover.
Betsy lived in Stuyvesant Town for her first 30 years, earned a master’s degree in Library Science, and worked as a librarian. She then moved to Arizona with her husband and young family where she continued her career as a librarian.
Life was not always easy for Betsy, and it took a toll on her health. Nonetheless, I prefer to remember Betsy with her long hair blowing in the wind as she swung with reckless abandon on the swings in the playground.
Rest in peace my friend.
