Betty Ballou

Betty Ballou, a dedicated member of ΢Ȧ's housekeeping team for more a quarter century, died at home on March 22, 2023. She was 74.

Betty served ΢Ȧ from 1987 until her retirement in 2014. She was among the final members of our staff to work in Moore Hall, ΢Ȧ’s last remaining dormitory in downtown Saratoga Springs. The building was closed in 2006. Betty later worked in McClellan Hall and other buildings on ΢Ȧ’s current campus. 

“Betty was dedicated to her work at ΢Ȧ and always enjoyed interreacting with students in the residence halls that she served. An animal lover, there wasn’t a dog on campus that she didn’t stop to greet,” said Environmental Service Technician Bev Pritchard, who worked with her for a number of years.

Born on Dec. 9, 1948, in Corinth, Betty was a longtime resident of Saratoga Springs. She is survived by her brothers, Donald Swift and Ronald Ballou, many family members, and friends.
