I never knew Betty but I know of her. For years I have wondered how a blanket with "B Balisteri" on it ended up in our reading room of our house in Waupaca. After a bit of digging I found her obituary. It seems she resided at Bethany home where my mother in law also lived at the same time. Somehow my mother in law got it and we must have received it from her or got it with her things when she passed from Covid. So the mystery has been solved. I will think of Betty whenever I use what was once her blanket.
