Elizabeth Rose Baker Amestoy, age 86, went to be with our Lord on Sunday, February 10, 2019 in San Antonio, Texas. She was born on June 14, 1932. Beloved wife, mother, grandmother, daughter and friend, affectionately known as “Betsy” grew up in Edna, where she graduated from Edna High school in 1951 and moved to San Antonio where she worked at the Gunter Hotel.     Soon after she met and married her husband, Manuel, in 1952 and went on to raise five children. They were happily married for 35 years until his death in 1987. Betsy loved her family and loved spending time with them.
