Gardening Angel
100_1685
Betty Pegen, was known as the "Gardening Angel" of College Point. Betty watched over the Poppenhusen Memorial for over 50 years. She tended the gardens there as a volunteer until her 96th year. Betty passed away in 2008, but the memory of her commitment to volunteerism lives on.
