Betty Jeanette Reed Clancy passed away peacefully at home on August 30th. She moved to Vashon in 2002 from Woodburn, OR, to be near family. Since December 2004 she has made her home at Island Elder Care.

Betty was born in Walla Walla, WA on February 26, 1918. When she married J. David Clancy in Walla Walla in August 1959, she acquired a whole new family: daughters Sue Willingham of Vashon, Gail Hapeman (Peter) of Sammamish and Vashon, and Anne Reiff (Del) of Fonda, IA. Of her eight grandchildren, Anne Willingham is on Vashon as are two of eleven great grandchildren, Hannah and Jacob Green. Betty’s husband died in 1987. Her sister Charlene Cramer lives in Walla Walla.

Betty’s daughters are thankful for the excellent care she received for almost seven years from Theresa Shipley and the wonderful caregivers at Island Elder Care and also for the supportive, caring staff of Providence Hospice.
