Betty fought the good fight with cancer and finished the race on her terms on November 8, 2021. The family will greet friends and relatives from 3:30 to 7 p.m., Friday, November 12, 2021 at the Reiff Funeral Home in Cascade, Iowa, where a Rosary will be held at 3 p.m. Services for Betty will be held at 10:30 a.m., Saturday, November 13, 2021 at St. Martin's Catholic Church in Cascade, Iowa, with Rev. Douglas Loecke presiding. Burial will be held in Calvary Cemetery in Cascade. She was born on March 30th, 1937 in Iowa City, Iowa, she was the middle child of the late Lyle and Maxine (Edwards) Denlinger. She will certainly be greeted by one of her late heroines-her much loved paternal grandmother, Maude. Grandma Maude was such a profound influence in Betty's life, and she will welcome Betty to the heavenly clan and claim her as her own. She is survived by the love of her life, Pat "Blackie" Lyons who shared 62 wonderful years of marriage. Four children, Linda (Marty) Hoffmann and Nancy (Dave) Taylor both of Cascade, Judy (Mike) Brecht of Cedar Rapids, and Randy (Janet) Lyons of Cascade; nine grandchildren and six greatgrandchildren. She is also survived by brothers, Harvey (Ellie) Denlinger and Marty (Pam) Denlinger both of Cedar Rapids and many nieces and nephews. Betty's earliest years were spent moving between Zwingle and Dubuque. Betty graduated in 1956 from Senior High School in Dubuque. It wasn't until she and Pat operated the family gas station at the corner of Highway 136 and Main St. in Cascade that she found her true home. Over the fifty-eight years on this street corner, Cascade, its people and its causes got in her bones and she in Cascade's DNA – and one of her legacies is passing her love for Cascade to her kids. Betty never needed a coach to teach her how to be herself- she was real to the core. What's not to admire about a woman of eight plus decades who kept a sign in her living room "my house, my rules." Even though she loved to shop, Betty was a minimalist – no clutter. She was generous to a fault, butsugar coated nothing. Her many loyal friends have been known to say "she'll tell it like it is." She was known for baking her famous chocolate cake for various functions and only occasionally topped it with her star winning frosting depending on "whether I liked the person or not!" Betty had an open-door policy for all family members- and, one of her favorite out-door messages to nieces or nephews was "you are always welcome!" And, each of them smiled, loved and knew it to be true. Every clan needs an aunt Betty who especially knew how to put on an old-fashioned country breakfast and filled a special freezer with homemade cookies. But she will especially be remembered for putting the "grand" in grandmother! She would want us to remind her grandchildren and great grandchildren how she loved each of them, delighted in their presence, and was proud of their accomplishments. They were her greatest joy. They were all her favorites, but especially whoever was in the room! Betty has lived a long purposeful life. Her family, friends and faith have nurtured her on her journey back to the light. Keep the light on for us, Betty, we will be joining you soon enough. Betty and her family would like to thank everyone for the cards, visits, and support during her cancer journey.
