Betty D. Washburn

August 27, 1955 - January 13, 2016

COLUMBIA – Betty D. Washburn, 60, passed away early on Wednesday morning, Jan. 13, 2016, at her home and with her family by her side after a brave struggle with cancer. Betty was born in Island Pond, Vt., on Aug. 27, 1955, a daughter to the late William and Doris (Bouchard) Daniels. She attended schools in Island Pond and was a 1973 graduate of North Country High School in Newport, Vt. Betty was the first female town clerk and treasurer for the town of Island Pond before she relocated to northern NH. She then spent seventeen years as a night auditor at The Balsams, and later worked as a home care provider assisting her friends and neighbors. She loved to play Bingo, and always enjoyed trips to Foxwoods or Oxford to gamble. She also loved to play games on the computer. Betty will be dearly missed by her family and friends. She is survived by her children, Ashley Washburn and fiancé, Ron Dagesse, of Gorham, and Justin Washburn and his wife Brittany of Bethlehem; her siblings, William Daniels, Marion Daniels, and Mary Potter, all of Colebrook, and Carolyn Jorgensen of North Carolina; her former husband, Fremont Washburn, Sr., of West Stewartstown; and step-children, Angela Belanger of North Stratford, Fremont Washburn, Jr., of Colebrook, and Dottie-Jean Champagne of Bethlehem. Calling hours will be on Sunday, Jan. 17, 2016, from 3 to 6 p.m. at the Jenkins & Newman Funeral Home in Colebrook. A graveside interment service will be later in the spring in the Colebrook Village Cemetery, of which notice will be given. Expressions of sympathy in memory of Betty may be made to the Two Rivers Ride for Cancer, c/o R. Mulliken, 53 Spring St., Colebrook, NH 03576. Condolences may be offered to the family on-line by going to www.jenkinsnewman.com. Funeral arrangements in NH are under the direction of Jenkins & Newman Funeral Home in Colebrook.
