• Notes

  Haskell Journal Journal of the Haskell Family Association v25, issue 80, 1990. page 26-27 Betsy Gilmer Tremain (HFA Life Member #726) Editor note: Myron Tremain wrote in response to my Christmas card, "I regret to report that we lost our Dear Betsy on June 9, 2009. She had been in Health Care here in Westminister Canterbury for several months, so her death was not unexpected, but she was a trooper to the end... I'm 89 now so I do not travel far from home but I'm quite comfortable in our original apartment. Good to hear from you and sorry for my report." Betsy Gilmer Tremain died peacefully on Tuesday, June 9, 2009, at Westminster Canterbury of the Blue Ridge. She is survived by her loving husband of 65 years, Myron E. Tremain. Born December 21, 1922, in Charlottesville, the daughter of the late George and Ruth Dettor Gilmer, she was proud to be a sixth generation Gilmer of Albemarle County. She was also predeceased by her sister, Decca Gilmer Frackelton and her brother, George Gilmer, Jr. She graduated from Lane High School in 1938 and from Sweet Briar College in 1942. On her 20th birthday, she was accepted by the United States Navy Waves and commissioned an Ensign in 1943. Betsy and Mike were married in 1943 at Christ Episcopal Church by the Reverend Herbert A. "Mike" Donovan. In 1946, they moved to Charlottesville and have been very involved in the community since then. Betsy had many friends and was an active member of the Rivanna Garden Club, the Colonial Dames, the Belfield and St. Anne's School Boards, Sweet Briar Alumnae, The University League, Christ Church guilds, and Farmington Country Club. Betsy is also survived by her three daughters and their husbands, Lyn and John Franklin of Birmingham, Alabama, Ann and Saint Lee of Newport News, Virginia, and Judy and Bob Webb of Atlanta, Georgia; her seven grandchildren, Jenni Franklin Hamm, Tom Franklin, Maria Lee Solomon, Cameron Lee, Allie Lee Wittkamp, Jeff Webb, and Katie Webb Chilivis; and seven great-grandchildren.
