I wanted to keep the thoughts from the funeral home guest book too so I am adding them here.

It is never easy to loose a mother or grandmother. May God grant each of you the strength needed at this time of loss and bring you peace and comfort as you reach out and remember the wonderful times you have had in the past. Edit out the bad ones keep only the good ones. The video is a wonderful tribute to just that.

Our oldest sons were great pals and are yet today. Gary spent many a time enjoying being a part of their family activities for which I was always grateful. Betty will be missed to say the least.

Hugh, Sharon and Kerri,

What a wonderful woman. I have great memories of visiting her and your dad when I was young, too. At Jimmy's funeral, she told me a story about our mom when she was young and visiting her and your dad shortly after they married. It was a great gift that I could never repay. Thanks, Aunt Betty!

She will live on in all of us. Love, Eric and family

Hugh, Sharon, and Kerri,

I have so many fond memories of visiting with Uncle Kenneth, Aunt Betty and all of you. I remember the spirited debates between the Anstaett siblings and the overwhelming love and affection shared by all.

I will always remember Aunt Betty smile, laugh, and prolonged hugs for us kids.

Our love and prayers are with you all.

Much love,

Bob Martin and Lou Ann and Amelia

Hugh, Sharon & Kerri,
I have so many good memories of visiting Aunt Betty and Uncle Kenneth's home when I was little. It was always a bustling place with lots of relatives, but Aunt Betty made even us kids feel especially welcome. She was so warm and loving, and always smiling or laughing it seemed. I will miss her dearly. We will keep you and your families in our hearts and prayers.
Love, Steve

Betty was like a second mom to me. When I was in Jr. High and High School, Betty and Kennth would take me along with their kids on camp out fishing trips. I was the same age as her older son Hugh. I sincerely express my condolences to all the family members on the loss of their Mother, Betty. I also hope their sorrows are mitigated by the memories of the great times they had with her and the tender loving care she gave to each of them.
