Ron and Betty were active in the community and enjoyed being members of the Baywood Golf and Country Club, Heather Sociy

ety, Humboldt Botanical Garden and Rhododendron Society. Betty was a long term member of Humboldt Sponsors, Rose Society and local bridge group (with friends for 50 years) where she made many lifelong friends. Betty loved gardening, sewing and handcraft and donated these skills to many organizations. Betty will always be remembered for her loving soul, wonderful smile, sense of humor and warm and friendly personality. There was always room for one more person at the table and one more childhood friend welcomed as a son or daughter. Betty was beloved by her family and all who knew her. Her favorite saying was “Remember You’re Special” which she told us often and we will carry forward into the future. If you would like to honor Betty Bottemiller please donate to the charity of your choice or Humboldt Sponsors in Eureka, CA. A celebration of life will be announced at a later date.
