Capaldini, Betty Williams

While raising her family, Betty was a professional educator, having attained a Master’s Degree from Radford University and her undergraduate from Concord College. She taught grade school, was an assistant principal at Claremont Elementary and finished her career at Draper Elementary. Betty was the driving force in her family, and her spirit will be missed by all who knew her.

Visitation will be held on Saturday, March 24th at 3pm at St. Edwards Catholic Church, on N. Washington Ave in Pulaski, Va. with Mass at 4pm, followed by a reception.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to Feeding America of Southwest Virginia, 1025 Electric Road, Salem VA 24153.
