Funeral Director

Betty devoted her life to her husband and family. She enjoyed attending all of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren’s events and activities. Betty had a way of making everyone feel special and important. She never knew a stranger. Betty was always up for an adventure whether it be a vacation, tour of observation, or road trip. She especially loved spending time in Florida. She was a member of the Oasis Senior Center. She enjoyed playing pinochle with her friends and family. Betty also loved spending time under the shade of her pear tree and admiring the flowers. She loved to be surrounded by friends and family and gather in Betty’s Kitchen around the table especially during the holidays.

Betty was a lifetime advocate for people with disabilities. She was proud of the work she did making the Lincoln community accessible.

Betty was a lifetime member of Holy Family Catholic Church in Lincoln.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Oasis Senior Center and Carroll Catholic School.

Final arrangements are entrusted with Peasley Funeral Home of Lincoln.
