    We wish we had known Betty. This obituary paints a picture of a wonderful woman who worked and played hard, loved her family, and left a positive and lasting impression on family, friends, and students. Knowing Robyn to be a kind, intelligent, and generous person, we know she must have been a fabulous mother, as well. We send our condolences to the entire family and hope that good memories will ease your grief. Lots of love, hugs, and prayers....
