Read More	Following a long struggle with her health, Betsy May (Padden) Kuntz was escorted by angels just four days after her 78th birthday. Betsy May Padden was born Sept. 28, 1929, at Camp Crook, S.D., at her grandmother's home. She was the second of four children of Easton and Sylvia (Davis) Padden. She attended country schools at Rema and Plainview along with her siblings near the family ranch on the Tie Creek eight miles from Camp Crook. The family moved to Ekalaka to attend high school and she graduated with the class of 1947 from Carter County High School. Following graduation she attended Presentation School of Nursing in Miles City and received her registered nurse diploma in 1951. It was during her nurse's training that she met the love of her life, Valentine Kuntz, while he was hospitalized at Miles City, and they were married April 3, 1951, a union that lasted 56 years and blessed them with nine children. She worked as a registered nurse at Hettinger, N.D., Belle Fourche, S.D., and later some private duty nursing, but her true devotion was her family and assisting her husband with his business. In the early years she helped her husband with the Kuntz Sawmill at Camp Crook and did the selling of lumber and accounting. After her husband's logging accident she assisted him with his construction company, again doing the paperwork until he retired in 1999. She also spent the summers managing their motel, Geyser Cabins, at West Yellowstone. She loved to "coffee" and visit, and was an excellent cook, known for her ability to create a meal out of a little flour and whatever else she could find. She knew no strangers and everyone was a friend, anyone was welcome at her table in her home. She was willing to share her experiences and what they taught her in hopes of helping others. She was preceded in death by her parents; one brother, Paul Padden; and a granddaughter, Jacqueline Brooke.
