Betsey was one of the kindest, most sincere, loving, and supportive people I have ever met. She went out of her way to make people feel welcomed and was always there when you needed someone to talk to. She loved her sons more than anything in the world and it showed in everything she did. I will truly miss her. Until we meet again ❤️
My condolences to the entire family.Always a smile, friendly & fun to be with. She will always be in everyone’s heart & walking the beach with her dogs.
To the Porter and Aldrich family,
Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss. Betsy was a neighborhood friend in both Riverside and Bristol, RI. I was sorry to hear this news.
My most sincere condolences to you Andrew and Scott. She was like no other! So many great memories, so much help from her along the way and being one of our closest island friends. She is sadly missed! Thankful to have had her!
One of my earliest memories, riding in a convertible, top down, Aunt Betsy smiling at me, singing as she drove. No idea where we were going, but it’s a warm memory. As was her smile, every time she saw me.
Betsy, we have been friends since childhood, you will be remembered for all the memories we shared. Rest in peace my friend ❤️

My deepest condolences to the family. Betsy was a woman with one of the biggest hearts. She was a big part of my family all my life. She was always smiling and glad to see me with her arms wide open. She will be missed greatly! Rip Betsy♥️ I’m very sad that the last time I saw you was almost 4 years ago on my birthday. RIP MY FRIEND
I will miss you
You were the best mother a son could ask for..We had good and bad times, but in the end only a mother’s love is eternal. I know that Dad, Nanna, Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Bert and Uncle Eddie and Rick were waiting for you.
Betsy Always Beautiful like her Heart.
A Kind Islander. I appreciated you Betsy.
She took in and cared for Island cats. Her love of dogs made them special to everyone.
I know Betsy was loved by many fun friends.
Betsy always found time to say Hello and Chat in the Ferrys cabin even after long day working off Island. I was always happy to see her.
She loved Andrew and Scott dearly. I am sorry for their loss.
Betsy was Aunt Betsy to me. She was a kind and thoughtful soul. I used to look forward to visiting her and even though she had her hands full with Andrew any Scott, she always made time to make me feel loved and included.
As I got older I came to appreciate just how much love she had to share. She loved her boys so much and stayed very close with them her whole life. She has inspired me as a parent to stay close with mine.
It was also wonderful to see her relationship with her big sister, Aunt Janey. I remember them always being quick to share a laugh and be there for each other in times of need.
We’ll miss you Aunt Betsy but we won’t forget you.
I’m so sorry, cousins.
Betsey,
I will always remember the laughing and good times. RIP 🙏 ❤️😪
