On The Record
OBITUARIES
mother, artist, writer, poet,
friend and world traveler.
Independent up to the
end, Betty, was proud of her
home and accomplishments
throughout her years. A Cre-
ative through and through,
she was free spirited and
fun! She expressed this best
while hosting parties and
socializing, often inheriting
new pen-pals along the way.
The best way to share her
with you is to share a poem
she wrote about her beloved
home here in Oregon. We
chose this one because it is
supercalifragilisticexpialido-
cious!
My Life-Long Quest
My life long quest
has been fulfilled
with peace and freedom
at my will.
The things I’ve always
held in mind
are here for me
to seek and find.
A place to play
a place to dream.
In wooded hills
by rushing streams.
The river, sea
and changing dunes
have now become
my daily tunes.
These changing scenes
have been my quest,
I know I’ve found
The very best.
—Betty Bird
