Remembering Betty Anderson

February 28 Nancy and I attended a memorial service for Betty Anderson sister of my late mother in law Roberta Worrell. The event was held at the St Anthony Park Nursing Home where Betty resided until her death about two weeks ago at age 91 years . Her daughter Karen Anderson Singh had called us and invited us to the service. Betty played cello and was a member of the Minnesota Orchestra 1952-1979. Apparently she was one of the first female musicians to join a major symphony orchestra. Karen and several friends shared memories of Betty and a young woman played seveal musical selections on the cello. Karen, formerly a violist with the Milwaukee Symphony, is living at the Augustana Apartments in Minneapolis.
