Jennifer Omdahl and Troy Goos

geanifer Ross Omdahl and
Y Michael Goos are engaged
arty. Their wedding is sched-
to take place on Saturday,
raber 8, at the Shelton Civic
ter.
The bride-to-be is the daughter
of Max and Vikki Omdahl of Shel-
ton. She graduated from Shelton
High School in 2001.
Her fianc is the son of Teresa
Coos, also of Shelton. He gradu-
ated from Shelton High School in
2000.
Early graduate is still studying
(Continued from page 14.)
Her graduate study research pa-
per addresses leadership and she
plans to have it completed within
the year. "If I don't get it finished,
that's okay. It's been the journey,
that's all. I guess that's life; it's the
journey that's worth it."
She selected leadership for her
research paper because of her back-
ground. "I guess, I look at education
as being the thing that gives every-
body a chance," she says. Someone
can accomplish almost anything
they want to if they use their edu-
cational expertise, she adds.
"It just breaks my heart to see
kids quit school," she continues.
SEWING IS ONE of Betty's big-
gest hobbies. As a member of the
philanthropic organization Luther-
an World Relief through the local
chapter at Faith Lutheran Church,
she helps sew book bags for school
kits the organization ships to sup-
port education in Third World
countries. In places receiving these
school kits, pencils and other ba-
sic school supplies are possessions
prized by many impoverished stu-
dents. Betty finds that knowing her
modest contributions are of use is
very rewarding.
Lutheran World Relief members
sew hundreds of quilts and put to-
gether other care packages for com-
munities sponsored by the organi-
zation.
"It's really lovely when you
think that kids somewhere are get-
ting something that they wouldn't
have otherwise," she reflects. "I
think that's the strength of Lu-
theran World Relief- is they take
their stuff to people. It never gets
sold on the black market or left in
some warehouse. It goes to people.
There are other places who do that.
It's just that it makes me feel good
to know that these things are go-
ing directly to the people who need
them."
Betty also serves on the church

Rachel Devaney and Kyle
Paysse were married February

in Leavenworth.
Pastor Steve Olson of Faith
Lutheran Church in Shelton
performed the double-ring cer-
emony. Elena Smith attended
as maid of honor, along with
bridesmaids Emily Heaton and
Hanna Paysse. Alex Paysse
served as best man, along with
groomsman Andy Shearer.
After the wedding ceremony,
a reception took place on March
25 at Lake Limerick Country
Club.
The bride is the daughter
of Leigh and Daris Devaney of
Shelton. She graduated from
Shelton High School in 2000
and then from Western Wash-
ington University in 2004. She
now works as a teacher at Pio-
neer School.
The groom is the son of Bob
and Patty Paysse of Grapeview.
He graduated from North Ma-
son High School in 2001. He
now works for Pioneer Digging
and owns Sure Shot Trucking.

altar guild at Faith Lutheran and
is chairperson of the Bible circle.
In her spare time she also has full
reading historical fiction. Back m
her college days, she behmged to an
extracurricular hiking club, learn-
ing how to make s'mores, among
other outdoor activities.
"IT WAS ALL kinds of fun; I
enjoyed it," she remembers. Her
college experience now includes be-
ing selected as one of 15 people to
the LeadersLip Academy a Iowa
State.
This summer, Betty will be enjoy-
ing a new achievement: turning 90.
"Anybody who's lived that long's
had quite a few occurrences during
their lives," she says.
Among the transtbrmations she's
witnessed over the years have been
traveling to Olympia over the water
on the stern-wheeler, Sol Simpson,
instead of driving. Her memories
also date back to when the railroad
tracks leading into Shelton were
under construction. The construc-
tion crew brought all of the equip-
ment ashore near where she lived
at the time. She and other children
would watch the construction crew
and visit the cookhouse, where the
cooks would sometimes share their
food with them.
Turning nine decades won't be
the only honor she has to look fbr-
ward to, either. She has also been
named grand marshal of this year's
Mason County Forest Festival Paul
Bunyan Parade. Characteristically,
Betty reacts modestly to the recog-
nition.
"THERE ARE SO many people
who've done so many things and I
don't know if' l'm the worthiest one
of all the worthy pebple," she says.
"There's so many worthy people. I
think, when I look back at all the
people who have been honored, that
it: is an honor to be selected."
When her children were in
school, they appeared in the Forest
Festival parades with the march-
ing band. "You knew how it is when
you're younger: Everybody makes
floats," she reminisces. "If you aren't
involved in floats, why, you're not
involved. Everybody makes floats."
Betty shared a recipe ibr cake
that's so moist, it doesn't need frost-
ing. "That's why I like it, because
its so nice and moist," she says.
