WILSON -- BETTIE CORE WILSON August 3, 1921 - July 15, 2005 Bettie Core Wilson passed away suddenly July 15, 2005 at her home in Albuquerque. Born August 3, 1921 in Marion, IL but raised in Knoxville, IA, she was "a grand old girl" who left us too soon. She leaves us with memories of a lifetime of unconditional love and caring. Bettie epitomized the Greatest Generation and could have been the poster girl for pioneer stock. She received a journalism degree prior to WWII and worked in newspapers in her younger years - and in her heart forever - and had a lifelong love of words and Scrabble. An Air Force wife for almost 30 years, she raised her children all over the world and finally settled in Albuquerque where she returned to college at age 50 to get a teaching certificate. She ran a Red Cross program for years, and was still a substitute teacher. Never a great cook, she WAS creative and in 1982 she was a finalist at the Chef Boyardee Cook-off in Chicago. She also loved to travel and gladly suffered from wanderlust; returning last month from a 17-day trip to Greece and the Aegean Islands. A few years ago she accomplished a lifelong dream when she visited the last of the 50 United States; in her 70s she drove to Alaska just to add it to her list. A RockHound for decades, she'd gone July 14th with her group from Palo Duro Senior Center into the Jemez. Bettie was an original member of the "Friendly Philosophers," a thinking group for folks with inquiring minds. . Bettie is survived by her children, Gail (Jim) Williams of Aztec, Lynn (Vicki) and Lewis (Kathy) of Albuquerque, and Matt (Susan) of Sandia Park. She is also survived by her grandchildren (and great grandchildren), David (wife Carla, with Ashley and newborn twins Joshua and Noah), Dan (wife Marcea, with Ben and Peter), Jennifer and Amanda Wilson. She leaves behind a sister-in-law, cousins, nieces, and nephews she loved dearly. Preceding her in death were her parents, Paul and Verna (Lawyer) Core of Roswell; sister, Dorothy Schultz Daniel; and her former husband, Donald E. Wilson. Cremation has taken place. A celebration of her life will take place at the First Unitarian Church 3701 Carlisle NE (at Comanche) on Saturday, July 23, 2005 at 2 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the New Mexico Zoological Society or a charity of your choice. Mom was a smart, funny, kind, caring, wise, thoughtful, sharp witted, and a wonderful woman to the very end. She is simply irreplaceable, and we will hold her gently in our hearts forever. Fitzgerald & Son 3113 Carlisle Blvd. NE Albuquerque, NM 87110 (505) 884-1188
