Betty especially loved working with the children
at Evergreen Elementary School in Moyie Springs.
She loved keeping house and proved that cast
iron skillets were made for Elk Steak and Idaho
potatoes!
Though a hunter with Bill, she had a passion for
all of God’s wildlife, especially the deer she
fed in her back yard. Betty had a special
heart-warmed love for the many dozens of
relatives and friends that she had every where
she lived over her 89 years.
Great love is also shared with the late Reverend
Clifford Utter and current minister Reverend
Wade Pardum of the Boundary County Church of
Christ and its entire congregation! The same is
shared with Reverend Lowell Carlson of the Free
Methodist Church and its entire congregation.
Senior companions Sue Richardson and all those
in Betty’s later life and her affectionate
friends she loved so much, as Becca and all
those who helped her maintain the pride she had
in her home that she kept for Bill for 41 years.
