Bette
Pinkerton
A Noble Woman
Born in Salt Lake City, Utah on January 30, 1943.
Bette went to be with our Lord February 3, 2005
Bernard Baruch once said: "During my eighty-seven years I have
witnessed a whole succession of technological revolutions. But none
of them has done away with the need for character in the individual
or the ability to think." Bernard Baruch would have appreciated
Bette. As an educator she specialized in teaching her students that
a person's character is important and insisted that in her
classrooms all students follow her golden rule: "Treat me and
your fellow classmates with respect." One of her favorite
sayings was that "if you can't something nice about another
person, don't say anything at all." When confronted with a
problem she liked to say, "we will just have to make lemonade
out of these lemons." Many have confirmed that Bette didn't
realize how many lives she had touched in a positive way.
However, of all the praise we give Bette
and the good she did as a teacher, she was even more important to
those who loved her. We were all blessed to have known her. Bette's
untimely passing has left us with a felling of emptiness,
loneliness, and sadness.

Excerpts
from the Holy Bible
Proverbs
31: 25 - 31
She puts on
strength and honor as if they were her clothes. She can laugh at the
days that are coming.
She speaks
wisely. She teaches faithfully.
She watches over
family matters. She is busy all the time.
Her children
stand up and call her blessed. Her husband rises up, and he praises
her.
He says,
"Many women do noble things. But you are better than all the
others."
Charm can fool
you. Beauty fades. But a woman who has respect for the Lord should
be praised.
Give her the
reward she has earned. Let everything she has done bring praise to
her at the city gate.
Matthew
7:12
"In
everything, do to others what you would want them to do to you. This
is written in the Law and in the Prophets"
We love you
