CLEVELAND, Betty Ash
92, of Newburgh, Indiana, passed away on Monday,
November 8. Betty was born in Dayton, Ohio, on November 14, 1928, to the late Lloyd Ash and the late Mary (Karl) Keisewetter. Her brother, Gene Ash, preceded her in death. A sister, Kathryn Webb, survives.
She graduated from The Ohio State University, meeting her husband John in Spanish class. Before marriage, Betty worked at Halle Brothers in Cleveland, Ohio. After marriage she worked at the Pentagon in Washington, DC, where her husband was stationed during the Korean Conflict. Betty was a lifelong volunteer for a variety of organizations, holding many leadership roles. She had a love of
history and volunteered at the Warren County Museum in
Lebanon, Ohio, the St. Simon's Island Lighthouse, on St.
