Age 87, resident of West Seattle for 54 years, passed on from this life October 24th. She was born in Columbia, Missouri; graduated Hickman High School, Columbia, Missouri; University of Missouri, with a B. A. Business and Public Administration degree. She married her college sweetheart Bill Case on July 26, 1941. They lived in New Jersey from 1940 to 1947 where she was diagnosed with colitis. They lived in Denver Colorado from 1947 to 1953 where she contracted polio; they moved to West Seattle in 1953. Betty never let any of her disabilities stop her from doing anything she wanted from making homemade chili sauce, jewelry, hats, and clothes for her children. She always had a positive, happy outlook on life and loved to laugh until she cried.

She was preceded in death by her husband Bill, April 1, 2004 and is survived by her daughter Phyllis C. Greene and husband, Jim of Austin, Texas; her son Norman C. Case and her grandchildren Jonathan Case and Jessie Case; sister Emily McCaslin of Columbia, Mo.; brother Edward Gibbs of Columbia, Mo; nieces Linda Wallace, Annie Fiore, and Sarah Jane Hogg; nephews Roger Wilson, Andy Wilson, and Scott Gibbs.

Betty was an active member of the Fauntleroy Community Church for many years. She enjoyed and was very active in "Church Mice" sewing items for those less fortunate. She was the leader of Phyllis' Girl Scout Troop and also helped found the Seattle Chapter of the United Ostomy Association.

Betty will be missed by many and we know she is in a better place where she can now 'dance with daddy'.
