The First child was Doug born in 1949, Vicki 1951, Pam 1953, Denise 1955, and Brian in 1958. Victor always took a lot of time with their kid’s everything from bottle digging after church on Sunday, to the annual trip to Seattle after harvest every year and the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair. While raising 5 kids she was the best mother and best cook anybody could ask for. Bette also was involved in many activities like the Tridecem Club, Bridge Club, Den mother for Cub Scouts, and the women’s fellowship at Lind Congregational Church. She shared her gift of cooking and baking with her 3 daughters Vicki, Pam, Denise and two daughter in-laws Lind (whal) and Diane Kagele. Dad even made her pie racks for the car to make sure that they had a safe trip from the farm to the Golden Grain Café in Lind. She baked pies many years for the Golden Grain Café. Bette went with the Angels on December 21, 2018 in peace surrounded by her family.

The death of someone we care about can be one of the most difficult experiences of life. Words seem inadequate to describe how painful the grief we feel can be. It is often much more challenging than we expect and than others seem to think.
