Betty Berney has been a member of the Kansas Author’s Club since 1983. Betty is a lifelong resident of Phillipsburg, Kansas. She is a gifted writer and musician and among her many honors are winning first prize in the 5th Anniversary National Country Music Songwriter Contest in 1981; the Golden Poet Award presented at the 3rd Annual Poetry Convention at the Las Vegas Hilton in 1987, and the Female Country songwriter of the year by the Lumpkin Music Corporation in 1988. Her 375 plus extensive writings include poetry and songs on the following topics: Kansas, Religion, History, Local Phillipsburg Friends and Family, Patriotic, Political, love and loss. Her years of creative writing have inspired and touched many hearts.
Many of Betty’s writings remain on display at Fort Bissell in Phillips County.
This note was received from Betty in April 2023.
“Now hanging in the living room of my home is the framed, typed poem of Jacqueline Kennedy on colored paper with inserts of pictures of a candle and an ink bowl and pen. The frame is of walnut wood and wired to a stand. A fine picture of a graceful woman and wife of our president of the United States. I have been asked to send it near The White House for hanging in an area for pictures of Presidents wives, etc.”
I nominate Betty Berney for a Lifetime Achievement in Writing Award.
