Bettie B. spent her career as the administrative assistant to the CEO of Macy’s in St. Louis. She enjoyed a full and fruitful life and lived to be 93 years old. Bettie B. cherished her time at Lindenwood. Laura Saf graduated from Lindenwood in 1975 as an accomplished student-athlete on the women’s golf team. Her experiences in St. Charles led to a 25-year, trailblazing career in the sport. She served as the first woman on the Nebraska Golf Association Board and a Women’s Trans National Golf Association board member and served on four United States Golf Association committees. Separated by two and a half decades and different life experiences, these two women share something very powerful in common. By including Lindenwood University in their estates, they are members of the Sibley Heritage Society.
