Memorial for Beryl Anderson

On March 10th, Betsy and I attended the funeral and memorial service for Beryl Anderson, a long-time resident of Leisure World.  When we introduced ourselves to her niece, she said that Mom's call to her after Beryl's passing the first one she got, and that it was very much appreciated.

Here's where the funeral service was held, at the Mountain View Cemetery:



Here are a few pictures from the service:









One of Beryl's friends performed a nice selection of songs.  Here's a sample:

When we got home, we saw that Betsy's new amaryllis had bloomed.



Next was the memorial service at Leisure World, in Rec 1.



Here she is just after graduating as a registered nurse.



There was a nice crowd in attendance:



The tables had photos of things she enjoyed, like this one of the hummingbird that nested in the spinning piece of art at her house:



Her niece made comments, and then people around the room, including Betsy, offered remembrances.


Finally, here's the pamphlet that was handed out at her funeral:
