Grandma: Ina (Betsy) Connelly

Today, Sunday June 29, 2008 my Grandma passed away. She left her old body, full of cancer and pain, and received a new body - as she entered the Kingdom and was welcomed by the Heavenly Father! She will be missed. She is already missed! I love my Grandma so much. I'm sad that she's not on earth anymore but very happy that she is completely healed! We were very fortunate to have spent time with her this past April and over the years. Walking around the circle, eating, talking, learning how to knit, playing with Katy (the cat), and watching MASH and Jeopardy! I love you Grandma!
Jeopardy: 'Famous' People: for 500: Answer: This person was the one of the greatest Grandmas: she took her grand-kids to Disney World and stood on long lines forever; who sat with us at the pool and let us swim for hours; who allowed us only four ginger-snaps with lunch; who let us drink as much favored club-soda as we wanted; allowed us to hit plastic golfballs in the backyard; told me to chew my gum with my mouth closed; who let me help with her puzzles; who gave me nickles for not worrying in school; who played poker with the family during reunions and laughed so much she had to pee!; who sat through an entire Red Sox Game and loved it...cheering for Manny (who has the long hair!); who came to my high school and college graduation, mine and my brother's wedding, and who came up 'north' where it's not 80 degrees all the time!
Question: Who is: (see Title above)
