Betsy Violet Ablanedo left this world peacefully on Friday, September 5th at 12:03 p.m. in Austin, Texas, where she had lived since 1964. She was surrounded by her loving family. At 91 years of age she saw this world change in unbelievable ways throughout her life.
She was born in Chesterfield, England, in 1923 in the shadows of the First Great War and came of age during the Battle of Britain in the Second. She was the oldest girl of six siblings: John Robinson (d.), Bill Robinson (Margaret), Alf Robinson (Audrey (d.)), Allen Robinson (Sophia) and Barbara Knight (Jeff (d.)).
Betsy served in the Royal British Air Force where she met the love of her life, Armand Ablanedo (d.), a young American soldier. Together they made a prosperous life in the U.S and raised four children: Irene Ablanedo, Armand Ablanedo, Ralph Ablanedo (d.) and Arlene Ablanedo (d.).
She is also survived by her grandchildren: Steve (Joao), Amanda (Jody), Charles (Mia), David (Nina), Lance and her 8 ½ great grandchildren. She kept a strong bond between the family she made in the U.S and the family she left back in England where she is survived by her siblings and many nieces, nephews, grand-nieces and grand-nephews.
