THETFORD CENTER - Claradella (Snow) Betts, 94, passed away on June 12, 2016, at home in Thetford Center, Vermont, while surrounded by loved ones. She married Charles Betts in Chelsea on Sept. 4, 1947.

Mrs. Betts was an extension agent for the state of Vermont. She then went on to teach home economics at Thetford Academy for 23 years. She was also a past town clerk for Thetford.
She was known for involvement in her community. From singing in church choirs to helping local third graders with their annual puppet shows, Mrs. Betts was a popular and loved citizen of Thetford. Children and adults alike looked forward to eating her famous baked goods that she often made for various occasions. Her sewing skills did not go unnoticed either; she even costumed the high school musicals for many years. She also found happiness in tending to her beautiful gardens.
