Betty Baker Nursing Scholarship

Betty Baker Nursing Scholarship

Betty Baker died in 1979 at only 57 years old. She lived her whole life with heart problems as a result of scarlet fever she contracted as a small child. In place of flowers at her funeral, Baker’s family asked donations be made to the study of heart-related illnesses. Donations made in her honor coupled with those made annually by family members were donated to SFA to create this scholarship in her memory.
