[TN-Bird] In Memory of my friend and fellow birder

I just received news that my friend Bettie Sumara and a fellow birder has 
passed away. She has been sick for a short time.  We recently sat and watched 
the Fulvous Whistling Ducks together.
Bettie was privileged to bird with the Ben Coffees over the years and Jeff 
Wilson and many others. Bettie would occasionally in past years participate in 
the CBC and was always attentive to her feeders alerting us to birds she saw 
there.
  
She has been very active in the community of Tiptonville, especially the 
Library and Woman's Club, and the Historical Society.  She attended Holy Angels 
Catholic Church in Dyersburg where she was active.  

Bettie was still very active until very recently and was still driving herself 
to Wisconsin and to her Beloved Outer Banks. 

She has been an inspiration to me.  And I will deeply miss her presence. But 
know she is with her Lord and Savior.

Sadly,
Nancy
