Notes for Betsy Ann THOMPSON
Betsy Thompson Turner, age 87, died on December 11th, 2014 at her home in Cartmel. She was predeceased by her husband, George C. Turner, in 1999. They were married for almost 50 years. Except for a few years in her early married life, Betsy was a resident of the Kennett Square area. She was the daughter of Theodore R. and Marion Pyle Thompson. She attended George School and graduated from Sarah Lawrence College. Betsy and George were married at her parents' home, Woodside Farm, on June 25th, 1949.
Betsy was a homemaker, gardener and mother of four. She was a very tolerant mother who did not object to the occasional snake, turtle or newt in the house, even those that escaped. She endured her children's escapades, some of which required medical help or a visit to the hardware store for cleaning solvents. With such a "busy" home life it is no wonder she and George took refuge in travel, France being a favorite destination. Betsy played tennis with family and many friends whom she treated like family. Our 4th of July parties were legendary. She was a very gracious lady and host.
She is survived by her children, George C. Turner, Jr. (Pam), William J. Turner (Katherine), Phoebe R. Turner (Robert) and Robert T. Turner (Lorraine). She has five grandchildren: Joshua T. Turner (Angel), Benjamin W. Turner, Celia T. Turner (Nicole), Ellen T. Turner (Janelle) and Julia T. Turner, as well as two great-grandchildren, Caleb and Wyatt Turner, and a little boy due in February. Yvonne Goodwin, a dear member of our family, was very close to our mother. And her special dog, Max, who she loved very much.
A memorial meeting for worship in memory of Betsy's life will be held 12 noon Saturday December 20, 2014 at Kennett Friends Meeting 125 West Sickle Street, Kennett Square, PA 19348. Interment will be held privately.
