Sharing in your sorrow, with loving memories of Aunt Betty Lou.
Our Deepest Sympathy to all the Family!! It is hard during these times! Memories are Precious!! Debe and Steve!
With deepest sympathy from Debbie (Stegeman) Branson Hair Connections & The Family of the Late Victor & Irene Stegeman
Hello to the family – from all of us in the Blosser family. Betty was a part of our lives for a number of years and after she stopped working for us Marlene took over. My kids loved when Betty came. She was always ready to hear what they had on their minds. She was a hard worker and so happy to be able to work. Even after she stopped working for us we would see her on her way to work for Carmen Kolb and get to hear alittle bit of her family news. We add our sympathy to the family. Grandmother Marge Blosser, too!
Thanks for sharing your memories! Mary Cremer (Betty’s daughter).
