AMARILLO PALO DURO Chapter Donates AmTryke To Honor Former Member

 

 
For 38 years, Betty Norman and her husband Ed served as dedicated members of Amarillo Palo Duro Chapter. Together, the couple worked hard to make a difference in their community and improve the lives of those less fortunate. Unfortunately, Betty passed away this past March after a 30-plus year battle with Multiple Sclerosis. 

During the final years of her life she spearheaded a successful birthday donation program for AmTrykes and requested that, upon her death, donations be made to the Amarillo Palo Duro AmTryke Fund.  On April 15, 2008, the Amarillo Palo Duro Chapter celebrated Betty’s memory by presenting an AmTryke to a local boy with disabilities named Austin West.

The tryke was purchased directly with those donations made in honor of Betty.  Attending the ceremony that evening were her husband Ed and their daughter, Linda Yingling of Oklahoma City.
