Update from:  Nancy Blodget Harris, April 2022
 
I was able to talk to Betsy Sell’s husband William Stern (Bill) this afternoon and sadly found out that Betsy died a couple of years ago. She had a serious case of M S but died in the hospital from pneumonia. (on Christmas Eve several months before Covid became an issue..so she died in December 2019) He apologized for not letting me know. He still lives in Tenafly, NJ. Their daughter Melissa and her husband live in England and have a 4 year old daughter. I was happy to learn that Betsy lived to enjoy having a grandchild, even if ever so briefly.
