Betty Ballou
Betty Ballou, a dedicated member of 吃瓜网's housekeeping team for more a quarter century, died at home on March 22, 2023. She was 74.
Betty served 吃瓜网 from 1987 until her retirement in 2014. She was among the final members of our staff to work in Moore Hall, 吃瓜网鈥檚 last remaining dormitory in downtown Saratoga Springs. The building was closed in 2006. Betty later worked in McClellan Hall and other buildings on 吃瓜网鈥檚 current campus.
鈥淏etty was dedicated to her work at Skidmore and always enjoyed interreacting with students in the residence halls that she served. An animal lover, there wasn鈥檛 a dog on campus that she didn鈥檛 stop to greet,鈥� said Environmental Service Technician Bev Pritchard, who worked with her for a number of years.
Born on Dec. 9, 1948, in Corinth, Betty was a longtime resident of Saratoga Springs. She is survived by her brothers, Donald Swift and Ronald Ballou, many family members, and friends.
