Betty Geraldine Breeden Wiseman passed away at the age of 89 on Friday, September 29, 2023, at Augusta Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Fishersville.
She was born on March 14, 1934, in Dayton, to the late Herring Thomas and Virginia Ann Almarode Breeden.
Betty dedicated four decades of her life as a psychological aide at Western State Hospital where she touched the lives of many patients and coworkers alike. She approached her career with empathy and kindness, leaving a lasting impact on all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Outside of work, Betty enjoyed various hobbies and interests that brought joy to her life. She was an avid bingo player and took great pleasure in competing with friends and fellow players. As a member of the Moose Lodge, Betty cherished the sense of community it provided. Always up for some friendly competition, she loved to bowl. Additionally, Betty was a loyal supporter of the Staunton Braves baseball team and never missed an opportunity to cheer them on. One of her favorite pastimes was fishing; she found solace in being surrounded by nature while casting a line into calm waters.
