IN MEMORIAM

Betty Roscoe, 97, Unadilla; Loved

Farming, Pursued It In Many Guises

UNADILLA – Beth "Betty" Bernice Roscoe (born Thompson), 97, died peacefully on Dec. 20, 2018, at Bassett Hospital, after a life of farming and diligent productivity.

She is survived by her children Gary Little, 63 and Carl Roscoe, 52, by her grandchildren Noah Roscoe, 28, and Jonah Roscoe, 24 and by five younger brothers and sisters.

She was predeceased by two husbands, Charles Little (d. 1959) and George Roscoe (d. 1971), and by one of her younger brothers.

Betty lived a long, happy and amazingly healthy life, attributing this to spending much of it involved in farming.  "I have always been in love with farming," she once wrote, "to be a farmer has been my aim.  I have accomplished it, in a small way, with a lot of luck and help along the way.  I still think it is the ideal."
