Betsy (Betsy Sue Woodall) from Phoenixville, PA
Marine
and
Betsy Woodall is a proud mom, wife, sister, and daughter residing in the western
suburbs of
Philadelphia, and adjusting to life as an empty nester. Her son, Declan, was part of
Fox
Company during boot camp, and while he was pursuing his dream at Parris Island,
her
daughter, Eloise, was studying abroad in Paris France. Two kids, both in a very
different
type of Parris/Paris, both taking charge of their destiny in very different ways. Betsy
and her
husband love to travel and take life in the slow lane, although Betsy would be very
happy in
a muscle car if afforded the opportunity. In her spare time, Betsy can be found
reading a
book by the fire pit in her backyard, losing herself in a 1500+ piece jigsaw puzzle, or
sharing
social media memes with her kids.
Service is part of Betsy’s lifeline. Her father served in the US AirForce, her
grandfather was
an Army paratrooper, and her grandmother was a nurse in the Army. Both
grandparents
received full military honors, including a horse-drawn caisson and band during their
funeral
services at Arlington National Cemetery. It was a very moving occasion. As her son
pursued
ROTC in high school, she wondered how life would be different if she had pursued a
trajectory within the military. Thus, when the call for volunteers through
MarineParents
presented itself, she jumped at the opportunity to give back to other family members
experiencing the range of emotions she felt when her son left for boot camp. The
support of
this volunteer team was professional and unparalleled, offering timely information,
guidance,
and structure, all along the 13-week journey. When she realized this continued
throughout
the Marine lifecycle, it was a sealed deal. This is a great way to stay connected to
the
military and support the families of Marines.
