Elizabeth (Betty) Armstrong
Born June 18, 1925 – Died September 13, 2016

Betty Armstrong was born in Seattle, WA, the daughter of a first-generation Lappland immigrant mother and NW logger father. She graduated from Broadway High in 1943, continuing her education at the University of Washington. At UW she was a member of the Delta Chi and a pilot in the “Wing and Rudder” club. In 1948 after marrying husband Bruce, they relocated to Kitsap County. Betty worked as a Naval Photographer at the Keyport base. Her love of photography continued throughout her life. She and Bruce travelled extensively, her camera always in hand. She bred and raised award winning German Shepherds and trained some as K-9 police dogs. She was an adventurous lady with a keen sense of humor. We will miss her puns and “one liners”!

Betty is proceeded in death by her parents, husband Bruce and Sister Joan (Pand). She is survived by Sister Harriet (Brooks), daughters Gayle and Janet, 3 grandsons – Alex (Chelsea) Armstrong, Chris Owen and Trevor (Kristin) Armstrong, 7 great grandchildren and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
