Betty J. Puskar wanted to be remembered as someone who facilitated breast cancer care and for making breast cancer something that people talked about. She also wanted to be known as someone who helped people.
Those who crossed paths with Puskar can attest to that legacy of kindness, compassion, empathy for others, selflessness and fierce advocacy for those with breast cancer.
A long-time supporter of West Virginia University and WVU Medicine, Puskar died at the age of 80 on Sunday, June 14 at her home in Morgantown.
