A bit late but I just found out...widow of 2x World Champ, '66 Indy and with Henri P, '72 minor endurance race in France winner, Graham, and mother of World Champ Damon. A class act.
RIP Bette.

She and Helen Stewart were integral members of the F1 community in a lethal era of the sport, frequently having to do the "dirty work" after the death of a driver. Looking after a grieving wife, cleaning up a hotel room and collecting belonging's, etc. After Graham's death, and the subsequent lawsuits, she didn't have much left, and did a hell of a job raising her three children.
