In Memory of Betty Simon

May 24, 1949 – January 11, 2013

Presentation Associate Betty Simon desired to share her life and spiritual journey with the Presentation sisters as an associate and made her first commitment on August 12, 2000. In her application to begin the Associate Partnership orientation, Betty stated that “it was through the influence the Presentation sisters had on my life that I have looked to many of these committed women as role models in today’s society to be present to the injustices suffered by some of society’s members. Association would provide opportunities to further service and prayer in my life.”

As taken from her obituary, Betty “lived life to the fullest, savoring and cherishing every moment. She touched the lives of many throughout her life. She was a woman of faith, and because of who she was, she probably never talked about it. Instead, she lived her faith.” Betty lived by the words of Presentation foundress, Nano Nagle, who said, “Not words, but deeds.” We remember Betty with love and gratitude.
