Zillah Betty Sackett
Zillah Elizabeth "Betty" Sackett of Yellow Springs died on Monday, April 19. She was 84.
Born on April 5, 1920, she was the sixth of seven children of Daniel O. and Zillah Faux Larson of Scandinavian and English descent. She was the granddaughter of Mormon pioneers who settled in Moroni, Utah, and later in Salt Lake City.
Betty went to nursing school at Salt Lake General Hospital and became a nurse in the United States Public Health Service in San Francisco during WWII. There she met and married Andrew Sackett. His career as a physician in the Public Health Service took Betty all over the U.S. and to London, far from her roots and Mormon heritage.
In Washington, D.C., as the wife of the assistant surgeon general, Betty was the belle of government and embassy balls. She and Andrew spent four years in Boston, where he was the commissioner of health for the city of Boston. Then they enjoyed 22 years living in Hawaii followed by seven years in Oregon.
Betty greatly enjoyed her four years at the Friends Care Assisted Living Unit, where she made many friends and was nurtured by the staff and friends, Leta Banner and Inez Foster.
She was a gentle and loving mother to her five children, Polly, Clarice, Christine, stillborn Matthew and Joel. She lost her Joel too early, when he was 32. Betty enjoyed bridge as well as arts and crafts. She had a gregarious and fun-loving personality, making every day an adventure.
She is survived by her husband, Andrew; children, Polly and Carl Cordell Jr. of Yellow Springs; Clarice and Charles Jackson of Woodinville, Wash., and Christine and John Hoover of Kailua, Hawaii; grandchildren, Cary and Christopher Cordell, Neil and Dana Jackson and Nina Collins Sackett of Honolulu; two great-grandsons, Cameron and Chandler Cordell and a third great-grandson on the way.
Friends may call on Thursday, April 22, from 5 to 8 p.m., in the Jackson Lytle & Williams Funeral Home in Yellow Springs. Funeral services will be held in the funeral home on Friday, April 23, 2 p.m., withKatherine Anadein officiating. Burial will follow in Glen Forest Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made to the Friends Care Assisted Living Unit.
