Bette left this earth this year. She was a great daughter, sister, mother and friend. If you ever heard her laugh you had to wonder if the laugh came from this polished, well-groomed, sophisticated and elegant women. We want to recall her life at our event this year.

In Bette’s own words:

"I love education! I received my post high school education when my children were five and three (1980). My parents were both lifetime teachers. My mom taught English and Latin (at W. C. Overfelt High School). Dad taught math and science. The latter of which I did not excel in until College, to be honest."

"In 1982, I received my AA degree at San Jose City College graduating summa cum laude. May, 1988 I earned my BA at San Jose State University and then my Masters in 1992. I graduated magna cum laude, at the same time my daughter turned 18. Yes, it took me ten years, but I did it."

"I like to write. I have two copyrights:1000 San Jose State University Students and Domestic Violence and Overcoming the Blues: A Self-Help Booklet. The three children's cookbooks are my favorites: One was an early reader cookbook for five and older. The second is a setup food preparation activity in a box for an individual or group of three or four pre-school aged children. Last, but not least thereof, is a favorite cookbook my six Family Day Care children and I created, which includes recipes that describe/demonstrate how to prepare our most delicious treats. The preface and humorous notes throughout consist of health reminders about food preparation, handling, and cleanliness."
