Female Barbershop Quartet

Lead: Betty Pettibon. Tenor: Lorida Harvey. Baritone: Norma Jones. Bass: Bette Damaska Carothers.

Organized in the fall of 1959, The Heathertones' first performance was at a Sweet Adelines regional meeting in Sharon, Pennsylvania. Within six months the group had won its regional contest and placed fifth at the international competition in Detroit. Two years later The Heathertones placed second at the international contest in Toronto, and finally, in 1963, won gold medals in Berkeley, California.

The quartet was able to make the trip to California through the generosity of their East Liverpool Chapter of Sweet Adelines (whose chapter show was a success and netted $500 for the quartet fund), the East Liverpool Chapter of SPEBSQSA, and Sweet Adelines' Region 14. The quartet retired in 1967.
