Betty Deputy Traveler Tiffin, the mascot of Tiffin Motorhomes and beloved pet of the late David Grimes, passed away in Golden on Monday, July 3, 2023. Betty’s age was unknown as she came up behind David Grimes’ home one day, starved, mistreated, and scared. Grimes took her in and helped bring her back to health. Later, Betty began making daily trips down to Tiffin Motorhomes, where she eventually trusted and took up with Gary Williams, who she befriended and loyally followed on his rounds around and throughout the plant. She made Tiffin Motorhomes her second home and the employees her second family and came to be known as the plant mascot. She had an official company badge with her picture and name on it, which she wore proudly on her collar. Betty also gained a following on Facebook, with more than 1,200 friends who kept up with her activities. She earned the “Deputy” name after Franklin County Sheriff Shannon Oliver bestowed the honorary title on her. After David Grimes passed away in 2020, Betty went to live with Grimes’ daughter, Dana, who took care of Betty the rest of her life.
