She later worked at Mr. G’s Clothing, and then the Hy-Vee grocery store for 16 years. Betty enjoyed family camping at Cutty’s and vacations in the motor home; traveling to visit children and grandchildren; and getting together with her siblings and extended family. She also enjoyed spending a few winters in Florida. Betty knew how to cook! Whether it was a big family dinner with lots of leftovers or helping to cook at the church hall, she was always available with help and advice. Betty’s most prized gift was to teach her children and grandchildren how to make her famous cinnamon rolls. Betty will be lovingly remembered by her 4 sons: Randy (Lori) of Seward, NE, Michael (Deb) of Cherokee,IA, Kevin (Kathi) of Cherokee, IA, and Neal (Liz) of Ankeny, IA; and 6 daughters: Janet Nicolina (John) of Des Moines, IA,, Charlotte Schueder (Dan) of Cherokee, IA, Debra Foreman, of Marshall, MO, Nancy Rupp (Brad) Davenport, FL, Cindy Adams (Rick) of Clive, IA and Catherine Roe (Rick) of Clive, IA; 26 grandchildren and 28 great-grandchildren; 2 brothers and 3 sisters and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by a stillborn daughter, her husband Ray, her parents, 2 grandchildren, 2 brothers, and a sister. Betty’s legacy was the importance of family. She was a strong caretaker for her husband, her parents, and Ray’s parents. She was a beacon of strength to her children!
