Biography

Betty Jeffrey OAM is Notable.

Betty Jeffrey OAM was born in Tasmania, Australia

Agnes Betty Jeffrey ^[1] was born in Hobart on 14 May 1908, the second youngest child of six. As a child, Betty and her family moved often because of her father’s job. An accountant at the General Post Office, he was often transferred interstate. Agnes came to dislike her first name, preferring to be called Betty.
She had two older brothers, Alan Noel and William Reginald and two older sisters, Marjorie Joyce and Frances Amy. She also had a younger sister, Gwenyth Mary.
After many years of travelling, the family finally settled in East Malvern, Victoria, the town Jeffrey would call home for the rest of her life. As part of a large family, she was surrounded by the singing and laughter of her siblings. She quickly learnt how to make clothing and food spread a little further, and knew what it meant to “do your bit”. She didn’t realise that the basic life skills she had learned as a child would one day help to save her life. . . . more . . awm.gov.au
