The Holyoke Public Schools community lost a beloved colleague earlier this week, with the passing of Betty Jett Thompson. She dedicated 37 years of service to the school community as a member of the Central Office Finance Department.
“Betty’s roots in Holyoke were strong, and her loss is felt deeply by staff across the district,” Superintendent Anthony Soto said. “She will always be remembered for her sharp wit, kindness, sense of humor, and unwavering commitment to Holyoke Public Schools. On behalf of our school community, we extend our heartfelt condolences to Betty’s family, friends, colleagues, and loved ones during this difficult time.”
HPS will share her obituary and information about memorial services or related arrangements when they become available.
