On December 2, 1979, Betty wrote: "To whom it may concern: When I die (I'd like to say "if" but that would be too conceited). I have the following wishes concerning my departure. I wish to be cremated. I do not wish any visitation or memorial service. If any contributions are made I trust my survivors' judgement as to what use these are put to. (never end a sentence with a preposition!)"
In keeping with Betty's wishes, there will be no visitation or memorial service. Please consider making a contribution to your local animal shelter or charity of your choice . A memorial fund has been established in Betty's name. Online condolences can be expressed at www.wichmannfargo.com.
