scottishathletics were saddened last week to learn of the passing of Betty Davidson at the age of 88.
Betty will be well known to many of our members as a track Official and also as a Masters athlete. Indeed, she competed in World Masters Championships until her late 70s.
She was also an Honorary Life Member of scottishathletics.
Betty was a Scottish track champion in 1951 and 1952 at 880 yards under her maiden name of Betty Moffat and married Ian Steedman in 1954. They were responsible for the development of Musselburgh Athletic Club.
We send our condolences to all Betty’s family and friends.
A private funeral service is being held on Monday 27 September at 11.30 but this can be viewed online https://watch.obitus.com
