Betty Seman, born Elizabeth Caroline Dohme, will be honored on her 100th birthday, September 25, 2013, at Rest Haven Nursing Home. At 10 a.m, a small motorcade will drive Betty down Broadway where family and friends will wave from the sidelines. On Saturday, September 28, from 2 to 4 p.m, an open house reception at Rest Haven will continue the celebration to include out-of-town children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
Born in Greenville to Charlotte and Dan Dohme, Betty graduated from Greenville High School and attended the Dayton Art Institute. She was lead artist for Neff Lettering Company.

Betty's two children, Gary Brown and Judy Brown Vredenburg, are also graduates of GHS, '60 and '56, respectively. She has five grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren, with another on the way. She has many devoted nieces and nephews in Greenville, Cleveland, and Las Vegas, NV.
