Life, like every other blessing, derives its value from its use
alone.

Betty Storm (1918–2007)
Elizabeth (Betty) Jane Storm, master potter and artist, passed away on
October 13, 2007, in McKinleyville with her daughter Katherine by her side. Born
December 14, 1918 in Cincinnati, Ohio, Betty moved with her family to San
Fernando Valley during the Great Depression to a chicken ranch where she
acquired a marked aversion to grilled poultry that stayed with her throughout
her life. She remained a Southern California girl until the early 70s, when she
moved to Gold Beach, Oregon. Later she would move to Ashland, Oregon, and
graduate from Southern Oregon State University along with her daughter and
granddaughter—a truly rare trifecta!
Betty was a
longtime member of the Fire Arts family,
serving as the Center's matriarch. Her powerful presence, kind spirit, unique
artistic style, and incredible energy will be sorely missed by all of us at Fire
Arts. Betty's life and work will be celebrated at the Fire Arts Gallery
throughout the month of January 2008.
