Adrienne and Don Padfield wish to extend our deepest sympathy to Ellen, Sonny and all the Naegeli family on the passing of everyone's friend, Betty Naegeli. While it is not possible for us to be with you this weekend we are with you in spirit. Adrienne has cherished the friendship with your family for decades and we feel blessed to be so fortunate. Betty will be missed by many; our prayers are with you.
Spent a lot of time at the Naegeli's house, mostly outside during all the weekend parties they had(announced or not). She was one of the greats - sorta between Boy Scout troop leader and Edith Bunker....your fav old friend, Norman McIntyre
Betty was co leader with myself, Ann Brzezinski, and Adrienne Padfield. Between the four of us, we had Troop 89 under control. Betty was the camping expert, Adrienne knew everything related to Home Economics like how many slices of bread were in a loaf. Ann was the bookkeeper. and I was just a good worker bee. Thelma Glorioso always volunteered to be the cookie chairperson. Our troop always met at Betty’s house, and we had some great times on camping trips and other Girl Scout outings. Even after the kids grew up, we all remained close friends through the years. Betty had us all visit at her West Yellowstone home one summer and we went white water rafting! Great times, and great memories!
Loved Mrs. Betty Naegeli. First knew her as my Girl Scout Leader. Her matter of fact, can-do attitude paired with her quick wit and sense of humor were infectious and inspiring. She was a wise lady, a take care of business lady, and a thoughtful benevolent person. I will always remember that red car she d”whipped around in back in those Girl Scout Days and all the fun we had camping and going on trips. Always enjoyed keeping up with her through the years through Mom.
