Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. I loved spending the summers in Ohio and being with my gramma Betty. We both loved musicals and would watch Brigadoon and Singin in the Rain over and over. When we would go out during the day she would record her stories on a VHS tape so she could watch them later, I am still impressed that she knew how to set up a scheduled recording on a VCR. I loved to watch her play the piano and we would sing, “Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy”. She was a lovely woman, a real lady.

  2. I know this is a difficult time, but my thoughts are with you and your family as you grieve. May you find strength and solace in the memories you shared together. We love you all.

  3. We are remembering our Aunt Betty Darrow with love and fond memories of time spent in her company through the years, especially during the summers in Unionville. Sending love to Jim and Jeff and all the family and friends from Carol, Warren, and Laura in Arizona.

  4. Our rememberance goes way back…Always a gracious and warm welcome every time we would visit her and Jim.

  5. I’m sorry to have just learned about her passing. My deepest sympathies for your family. I had the pleasure of working with Betty through the post office when I arrived at Geneva in 1975. I really enjoyed going to meetings with her. And sometimes when I’m talking about the post office with other people, I tell how Bettywas the last political appointee to a postmaster in northeast Ohio and people are surprised to hear that postmasters were appointed politically. Again my condolences.
