The flight attendant died on May 17 in a hospice. She was previously diagnosed with breast cancer.
Bette Nash began her aviation career at age 21, becoming a flight attendant for Eastern Airlines, the predecessor of American Airlines. She tried to choose flights from Washington to Boston so she could be home every evening with her son, who has Down syndrome.
