I was so sorry to hear the passing of your mother have known her for many years growing up down in Angola she was a sweet lady. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you may she rest in peace
Betty Carmine was the Christian spirit of Camp Arrowhead incarnate. Every summer she made sure my siblings and I received financial aid from the diocese to attend camp when our single mother needed the help--and even more urgently required a 2-week break from children in the house. Years later when I injured myself at the waterfront while working on staff, it was Betty who made extra effort to see that the Camp insurance agency reimbursed the medical expenses even when it seemed a lost cause. For years she was the gentle, smiling face of summer in southern Delaware. How I regret not having seen her since she and Terry retired. May the Lord comfort you,Terry and Carmine family. Tonight I'll light a candle and say a prayer, just as we always did at the end of the final night's campfire. That light still burns in me and I suppose everyone touched by Betty's grace.
Betty Lee treated every camper and staff member like family and opened her home and life to a wonderful extended family that will cherish and remember her. Our deepest condolences for your loss. She will be missed and her light is shining down on us.

So many warm and happy memories of Mrs. Carmine: How she always dressed your family up in matching Halloween Costumes, like Indians and Trees; How she had so many Theme Holiday parties; Brownie Leader with Mrs. Frances Walls; Girl Scout Leader in St. Peter's Parish Hall; The famous Brownie & Girl Scout "sleep overs" at Camp Arrowhead; Our Field trips to WBOC, WJWL and other places. Mr. & Mrs. Carmine, thanks for taking Debbie, Sally, Susan & I to Washington D. C. in the 4th grade!
Debbie, I appreciated how you invited me to stay with your Family in the Summmer at Camp Arrowhead and your Mom's delicious meals in the Dining Hall. Your Mother was always there with a smile and warm Hospitality!
