She took a child and taught it How to live in this life with pride. She took those kindergarten tears, And kept them all inside. She took the hands that longed to hold Her child and never let go, Used them to push her child Along the way to thrive and grow. Took time to do some other things, Like sew and clean and cook, And never sought to ask for thanks, For all the things she took. Thanks, Mom. Judith Bond THE FAMILY WISHES TO EXPRESS THEIR GRATITUDE FOR YOUR KINDNESS EVIDENCED IN THOUGHT, WORD, AND DEED, AND INVITES YOU TO JOIN THEM FOR LUNCH AND FELLOWSHIP AT THE VFW HALL BEFORE PROCEEDING TO THE CEMETERY. Betty Ann, daughter of Ben and Marie (Sanders) Blau, was born August 5, 1936, in George, Iowa. She attended school in George through her freshman year of high school when her family moved to Galva. She subsequently graduated from Galva High School in 1954. From 1954 to 1965 Betty was married to Bruce V. McKay. Four children were born to this union. Betty was married again from 1967 to 1977 to Gaylen Sorensen and from this marriage two more sons were born. In 1975 she moved to Manning. Betty worked for over 20 years as a nursing assistant after her children were born. Several of those years she worked at the Manning Plaza and more recently at the Manilla Manor from which she retired in July of 2001. Betty was a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary in Manning and the United Methodist Church. She enjoyed her grandchildren, friends and family, crafting and collecting recipes. One of her favorite past times was watching sports on TV. In December of 2001, Betty was diagnosed with cancer and died rather unexpectedly on Sunday, June 30, 2002, at Manning Regional Healthcare Center in Manning, Iowa.
