Betsy Donovan

Betsy Donovan was Clyde Donovan's mother. She was married to Roger Donovan. She was of Dutch ancestry and according to Clyde, she apparently had a very good recipe for lemon bars. She died in "Reverse Cowgirl" after Clyde left the toliet seat up

Background
Betsy Donovan was originally called Martha, in her non-speaking debut in the episode "Red Hot Catholic Love", but her name was later changed to Betsy in "Reverse Cowgirl", ten years later. Betsy was from a Dutch background and could even speak in its native tongue. She displayed her Dutch speaking and singing skills in the episode "Crack Baby Athletic Association", when she was singing a Dutch melody about Slash to her son Clyde over the phone.

In "Reverse Cowgirl", we learn she was hard on Clyde when it comes to matters such as leaving the toliet seat up, even going to his school to confront him about it. Ultimately, Clyde failed to keep the toilet seat down, resulting in her death. Betsy apologized to Clyde for not being harder on him and begs him to leave the toilet seat down, for his sister's sake, before she asked to be allowed to die. Her death was caused by her organs being forcefully ripped from out of her rectum, due to pressure changes, caused by closing the water valve.

Voice Actor
In all of her appearances, Betsy was voiced by April Stewart, until her final appearance in "Reverse Cowgirl", where she voiced by Trey Parker

Appearance
She had dark brown hair, just like Clyde and her husband. She wore a long-sleeved white top with a light brown over dress, a red belt, a gold belt buckle, and pearl earrings.
