New York-based writer and lyricist best known for her work on Maggie and the Ferocious Beast, but adapted into a animated television series and produced by the Canadian studio Nelvana.
Betty Paraskevas, who created and wrote for several children's television shows, including "Maggie and the Ferocious Beast," died at her Southampton home on April 7, a day before her 81st birthday. The cause was pancreatic cancer.
Paraskevas was born in Linden, N.J., on April 8, 1929. She attended Douglass College in New Jersey, where the future writer had a most unlikely major: chemistry.

Get the Big bad betty mug.A Betty; redefined (2013)
A Betty epitomizes a modern day queen, commonly associated with increased levels of self-worth (because she creates it).
She has the power and agency to be irresistibly sexy and feminine minutes after effortlessly emasculating a mere dozen men with her intellect and ability to deliver.
She is educated, deep, witty, simple and young hearted. She is naturally beautiful, honest, brave, loyal and nurturing. She is the whole package; balanced, quirky, open-minded, complex and flawed. She can be raw with her words, and gentle with her touch. She is a soulful, connected and driven. A modern day triple-threat, go getter.
Most commonly found being creative. An entrepreneur, wife, mother, daughter, sister and grandmother.
