Elizabeth "Betty" (Thomes) Sollars
February 13, 1920 — April 30, 2013
Betty M. Thomes Sollars, 93, died April 30, 2013 peacefully in her sleep.
She was born to Augusta and Manuel Sousa in Woburn, Massachusetts on February 13th, 1920. Betty spent the first part of her life in Massachusetts, moving to Seaside in 1969.
She worked as bank teller and a secretary for a real-estate company part-time. Betty was a working woman in the 50s and 60s when most women stayed home. She loved spending time with her family. She had pictures of all her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren in what she referred to as her picture gallery.
Bettys other passion was music and dancing. She was happiest when she was singing a song or dancing to the music. She was always happy, her saying was "if you can get up in the morning and walk and talk, then it is a sunny day."
She is survived by a daughter and son-in-law, Joan and Bill Harding of Elsie, a son In-law, John Ryan of Astoria, daughter in-law Kathy Thomes Rhew of Gresham, 8 grandchildren, and 8 great grand children.
