It is with an emptiness in our hearts as we grieve the loss of Betty Plank. When people speak of Ashland, Betty and Bud Plank are synonymous with this community. Betty's family and our mother's family moved to Ashland at the same time.Both entered Ashland High School their junior year and became life-long friends.Along their wonderful friendship journey, they met their loving husbands who were both playing sports at Ashland College and became life-long friends as well.The Planks were always supporting,loving and caring to all of us. Their generous,kind hearts touched the lives of so many people. The way they lived their lives was such a positive influence for all generations. Betty and Bud loved one another, deeply cared for others, and truly loved Ashland. They'll be forever in our hearts as we know they are in a wonderful place together once again. We love you,Betty.God Bless you and may He hold you peacefully in the palms of His hands. Jan and Mimi and all the Slaters (North Olmsted)
