With her husband Sherry, Betsey helped make her home a welcoming place for students, visitors, and immigrants from around the world. She was a humanitarian and a lover of people. She joined her husband at countless I-House functions greeting students and visiting scholars, most of whom thereafter counted her as a lifelong friend. Betsey was an inspiration to every person she befriended. She was sharp and engaged, curious about peoples’ lives, and devoted to the music, art, and cultures of the world. Betsey is survived by her husband, Sherry; older brother, David; daughter, Becky, and her husband, Ron; son, Dan, and his wife, Karen; son, Doug, and his daughter, Ali; as well as by grandsons, Morgan and Tom, and their wives, Christina and Jeanetta; and great-granddaughter, Maya. She is deeply missed by all. See In Memory on page 20 of the Fall 2019 I-House Times Newsletter. If you would like to make a donation in memory of Betsey Warrick, go to The I-House Scholarship Fund page, and under "Special Instructions for this gift" please write "Warrick Scholarship."

Read more about Estelle and other alumni from the "Golden Age" era.
