Betty Dahlberg
Betty May Dahlberg, 87, passed away March 5, 2008 at her home, surrounded by her family.
Mrs. Dahlberg was born in Baldwin, NY on March 18, 1920 a daughter of the late Cornelius and Lillian Etta (Buck) White. She graduated from Oneonta State with a Bachelor and Master's of Science degree in education. She started her teaching career in Grand Gorge, NY then on to Middleburgh Central School for several years and finally she retired from elementary education at Gilboa-Conesville Central School. She had a passion for history and travel, spending many summers in England, Scotland and touring America on bus trips. A love of flowers took her to the tulip fields in the Netherlands and the roaming hills of heather in Scotland. Betty loved Spring and the anticipation of blooming flowers and sweet melodies of the songbirds.
Quilting and sewing were an art for Betty that brought comfort and joy. Family and friends will forever remember her for the hundreds of quilts, wall hangings and decorations she made through the years and gifted to them.
