Betty Curfman
Betty Lee Umensetter Curfman departed this life in the arms of her family at Arcadia Rehab Center November 25, 2007.
She was born Feb. 24, 1925 in Parkersburg, WV to Dudley and Evelyn Umensetter. She attended local schools and graduated from Parkersburg High School, Class of 1943. She joined the Armed Services during the second World War and was stationed in New York City with the Navy as a WAVE. She married John Aldridge in October 1946. They had Jinna Lee and Dana John. During her lifetime she was employed at Kaiser Aluminum, Fenton Glass and retired from Veterans Memorial Hospital in Pomeroy. After retirement, she devoted her time for 5 years as a teacher with the S.T.A.R.S. program. "Miss Betty" helped many students at Pomeroy Elementary learn to enjoy reading.
She was preceded in death by her mother and father; brothers, David and Jack; and her second husband, Charles Curfman.
She leaves behind to mourn, her daughter, Jinna Arnott Randy Smith, a son, Dana Patty Aldridge of Reedsville; step-sons, Norman, Tim, Dwayne Dink Curfman; grandchildren, Kevin Clay Rachel Arnott, Erica Ryann Leigh Mike Giblin all of Columbus, Rebecca J.

Betty was a charming and energetic person and fought her battle with cancer with courage. Her 81st Birthday was celebrated on the Island of St. Martin with more than 85 attending the "Queen for a Day." In her purple tiara, after losing her hair, she was the inspiration for a series of paintings titled "Angel Of Love" by Marie Therese Ancellin. They are featured in a gallery in Manhattan.
