Seaton, Betsy Gay

Betsy Gay Seaton passed away at Bellevue Nursing Center in the early 
morning hours of March 25, 2003, after a period of declining health. She 
was born on March 22, 1914 in Wynnewood, Oklahoma, to L.W. Seaton and 
Corinne Seaton. The family moved to Britton, Oklahoma, where Gay graduated 
from Britton High School and from Central State University. After 
graduation she was recruited by the Campfire Girls organization and sent 
to Indiana for public relations staffing. She later conducted seminars and 
workshops for Kodak until the supply of film was cut short by World War 
II. She joined the Amana Corporation; later Geneva Kitchens as Kitchen 
Planner and subsequently accepted a position with the Chambers Corporation 
as Junior Engineer, traveling extensively throughout the United States. 
When her father"s health began to fail she returned to Oklahoma City, 
joining Woods Petroleum Corporation as Chief Draftsman, which position she 
held until her retirement. Gay was immensely proud of her Scottish 
heritage and thoroughly enjoyed her trip to Northern England and Scotland, 
using maps and historical documents to research family ancestry. She was a 
lifelong member of the Methodist church, being a teacher of adult classes 
and a worker with older youth. She is a member of the Chappell Class of 
St. Luke"s United Methodist church. She is survived by her brother, Dean 
Seaton and his wife, Mary Lou, of Bothell, WA, two nieces Lauri (Jim) 
Troxel of Lincoln, CA, and Holly (Bill) Roberts of Terre Haute, IN, as 
well as three great nephews, and a special brother, C.W. Paxton (Peggy) of 
California. Special appreciation is given to Odyssey Hospice for their 
tender care, expecially Vaneta and Tina. In lieu of flowers it is requested 
that memorials be made to a charity of choice. God gave the gift 
of memory that we might close our eyes and see the ones we love, and who 
love us. Visitation will be at the Funeral Home on Thursday. Services will 

be held at Hahn-Cook/Street & Draper at three o"clock on Friday, March 28, 
2003, Rev. Glenn Millard officiating. Interment at Chapel Hill Cemetery.
