She was predeceased by her husband, Dr. Henry S. Cecil, and her parents, James Whitney Marvin and Helen Verna Fleming Marvin. Betty was born in Philadelphia on April 6, 1936. She was a proud alumna of Germantown Friends School, Mount Holyoke College (BA), University of Pennsylvania (M.S.Ed) and Temple University (J.D.) She was a lifelong booster of Philadelphia, a resolute advocate for justice, an avid reader, and a lover of music and the outdoors. She was possessed of a curious mind, gentle humor, and a strong, determined will. She was a loving and devoted sister, mother, grandmother, aunt and friend and will be missed. A memorial service is planned for a future date when her family can gather safely and celebrate her life. Donations in her memory may be made to Episcopal Community Services.
