Betty Jane Nicholson Bastide, 85, of Cumberland, passed away Wednesday, Oct. 12, 2011, at her home.
Born Feb. 10, 1926, in Laurel, Mrs. Bastide was the daughter of the late Stewart Corse Todd Nicholson and Mary Virmadella Willey Nicholson. She was also preceded in death by her husband, Jose Bastide; four brothers, William O. Nicholson, Dallas Nicholson, Stewart Nicholson, Kenneth Nicholson.
At an early age Betty Nicholson felt the calling to the nursing profession, working in hospitals in Maryland and Virginia. While raising her young family with her first husband the late William H. Anthony, she became a registered nurse working at the Sligo Seventh-Day Adventist Hospital and eventually becoming a private duty nurse. As a nurse this allowed her to share her gifts of Comfort, Healing and Love to her patients, these same selfless gifts that she bestowed upon her family and friends time and again.
Like her parents Betty was a longtime member of the Laurel Seventh-Day Adventist Church as well as a member of the Bladensburg Seventh-Day Adventist Church, after moving to the Cumberland area she became a member of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church of Cumberland. These houses of worship were of great comfort to her and her family.
Betty is survived by her sons, William H. Anthony and his wife, Roberta of North Carolina, Stewart T. Anthony, Greensburg, Pa. and Paul N. Anthony and his wife, Penelope, Richmond, Va.; her daughter, Mary Royce and her husband, Arthur, Gaithersburg; her brother, C. Lawton Nicholson, Elkridge; her grandchildren, Christina Sollers, Joe Sollers, Kimberlee Higgs, Alexandra Anthony, Nicholas Anthony, and, Nathan Anthony; her great-grandchildren, Miranda Lynne Higgs, Hailee Higgs, and Richard Nicholas Higgs; as well as a true friend to many, many more.

A funeral service will be conducted at the funeral home on Sunday, Oct. 16, 2011 at 11 a.m. with Pastor Scott Shafer officiating.
Interment will be in Davis Memorial Cemetery.
Betty’s family would like to thank Pastor Shafer and the many members of the Cumberland Seventh-Day church for caring for her spiritual as well as her physical needs.
