It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of our dear friend and fellow Rotarian, Betsy Loyle, who left us on Sunday, February 2nd. Betsy was not only a cherished member of our club but also a past president whose dedication, leadership, and kindness left a lasting impact on all of us.
She was a shining example of Rotary’s motto, Service Above Self, always giving her time and talents to make a difference in our community. Her warmth, generosity, and unwavering commitment will be greatly missed, but her legacy of service and friendship will live on in our hearts.
Please keep Betsy’s family in your thoughts during this difficult time. We will share details on memorial services and a possible meal train for Michael as they become available.
