The world’s longest serving flight attendant, who served mid-flight lobster to the Kennedys and never retired, has died aged 88 after seven decades of service.
Bette Nash started her career in the air in 1957 when she was just 21 years old. She died in hospice care last week after a brief battle with breast cancer.
Her employer of 67 years, American Airlines, posted a touching tribute to her on X (formerly Twitter) mourning her death.
“We mourn the passing of Bette Nash who spent nearly seven decades warmly caring for our customers in the air….Bette inspired generations of flight attendants. Fly high Bette,” the airline’s post read.
