Betty was born in Minnesota. She spent much of her youth helping her parents on their farm. She would share many stories about their horses and walking to and from school through feet of snow. Eventually Betty relocated to Wisconsin, where she would bring four wonderful sons into the world. She was always known for her hard work, as she held multiple jobs at the same time to support her family. She enjoyed spending time with her family, baking, and playing bingo. Betty will truly be missed by all. A special 'thank-you' to the caregivers at Autumn Bay in Pewaukee who cared for Betty as if their own.

Betty's visitation will be held at Hartson Funeral Home in Hales Corners, Wisconsin on Sunday, November 1, 2020 from 3pm-6pm. In lieu of flowers, her family is asking for donations to charity, as Betty would frequently contribute to various charities through the years.
