It has been one week now since I was making the arrangements to go say goodbye to my dear Aunt Betty and celebrate her life with my beloved Uncle Harold and cousins. The idea to write this particular blog post was rather spontaneous and seemed too good of a fit of "Play YOUR Best Game" to miss sharing with you all...
Aunt Betty was born on August 10, 1929 in Jacksonville, Florida and moved to the delightful little town of North Augusta, SC in 1943. After completing her undergraduate degree at Winthrop College in 1951, she returned to North Augusta and commenced to teach at North Augusta Elementary School for the next 23 years. Anyone who knew her would agree that she taught far more than 3rd grade math, science and reading. Every day she taught love, respect, inner strength, the importance of family and of community. Every day, she led by example. Every day, she 'played HER best game' and encouraged others to do the same.
Aunt Betty, Mrs. Elizabeth Singletary Thompson of North Augusta, SC, was a servant leader from the inside out. A devoted wife, mother, exemplary patriot, school teacher, and active in every community with which she committed herself, Aunt Betty entered into rest June 6, 2011. She will be greatly missed.
