Although we never had the pleasure of meeting Betty Trayers, Emily talked to us about her grandmother’s zest for life. I am glad that my son, Carl, had the privilege of meeting Mrs. Trayers just last month.
May she rest in peace.
Dear Liz, Ellen and all the Trayers…Looking up another friend’s obituary this morning …I unfortunately saw a familiar beautiful woman with that million dollar smile…Betty Trayers. It is so sad to see that whole generation leaving us. Your mothers name was frequently mentioned with the addition of .”..she was one of the most beautiful girls of their time.” Full of fun and energy she certainly had all the goods ! She raised a wonderful family and leaves a great legacy. Susan Monahan Callahan
