In Remembrance — Betty Ipnar Betty Ipnar, a long-time member of Dover Osher, passed away November 8, 2018, after a short illness. Betty and her late husband, Albert, leave behind three children, seven grandchildren, and twelve great-grandchildren. Betty was always a “lifelong learner” so when she moved to Delaware and became a member of Osher, it was a natural fit. Betty’s love of life and learning was evident in the amount of time she dedicated to her family, friends, and people in her communities. In addition to being a voracious reader, lover of live theatre and movies, and a women’s college basketball fan, she was a “professional volunteer” who contributed her talents to many organizations. Betty volunteered in a nonprofit hospice in Illinois, and was instrumental in starting a new hospice when she moved to Ohio. In Delaware, she served as a Dover Osher council member and was also a member of the Kent County League of Women Voters. Betty’s quiet manner and insightful contributions to Osher, as well as her determination to continue to engage in learning fully throughout her life, is an inspiration. We will miss and remember you, Betty.
