Talk:Betsi Ashton

Hello! Does this page need a category box?

I've removed the attention gardener tag as no gardener intervention is required. The comment on it was: "Uncited claim of subject's death as of Dec 2023. I have removed the article from Deceased category until we can get a citation." Patchlamb (talk) 19:45, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

I re-added the deceased category as per the last line of the page is "Shortly before she died, Betsi wrote that, "I'll be 86 in September but I'm still trekking." - Personal correspondence to Geoff Allshorn in 2006 - Not only would that would make her well over 103 today, but personal correspondence with another fan is certainly sufficient evidence.

My last attempted correspondence to Betsi was via her nursing home in approx 2006, and her Xmas card was returned unopened. Her name and address had been crossed out on the front of the envelope and one word added by hand: "DEAD". I think MPH is correct that this would provide sufficient evidence. Thank you. GeoffA
