Betty is survived by and will be deeply missed by her son Bob Osborne (wife, Candy) of Seattle and son Tom Osborne of Kirkland, her brother Joe Schlosser of Kirkland, her grandchildren – Rob Osborne, Ryan Osborne, Kim Stewart and Stephanie Castro and her 6 great grandchildren.

Anyone who knew Betty – either as a mother, grandmother, coworker, or friend knew she represented the best of all of us. She was a best friend and advisor to many. She enjoyed playing and watching golf, vacationing to Reno and most of all, her visits to Ireland. Betty was a true Irish lady who thoroughly enjoyed reminiscing about her heritage and Irish roots. Betty was passionate, classy, caring and always supportive.

Betty moved to Mercer Island in 1950 where she spent the majority of her life. In 1963 she began her long career at St. Monica’s as a P.E. teacher. Over 30 years later, Betty retired as their school secretary. She had a deep love and dedication to the students and faculty and provided unconditional gifts of wisdom and guidance.
