Notes

Dearborn was her mother's last name. What follows are excerpts from an obituary in the Telegraph Herald of Dubuque, Iowa:

She was raised in her early years in Chicago, Stone City and Dubuque, Iowa, their home state. After her parents' divorce and subsequent death of her father, she and her mother moved to California where she took her mother's maiden name and Betty became Bettina, a name that would carry her through her years as a professional dancer. ...

Bettina was a shrewd financial investor with a strong leaning toward philanthropy, giving generously to the New York Public Library and other charitable endeavors. ...

She was preceded in death by her longtime companion, Wayne Larrabee.
