Betty Plasterer Obituary

Plasterer, Betty Helen Pinckney, Michigan Age 77, went home to be with the Lord on Monday, March 12, 2018 at her daughter's home. She was born Sept. 5, 1940 in Dansville, MI, the daughter of Emil & Minnie (Serenson) Zaske. Betty was a selfless mother who always put others before herself. She was a consummate peacemaker who was always smiling and always positive, with a sense of humor that would never stop. Betty worked behind the scenes, never seeking glory. Betty took care of many people, from babies to hospice. She enjoyed gardening and the outdoors, square dancing, sewing, traveling, and driving the church bus. She was the cool grandma who took her grandchildren on new adventures. Funeral services will be held Monday, March 19, 1:00 pm at Our Savior Lutheran Church, Chelsea, with Rev. Dale Grimm officiating. The family will receive friends Noon to 1:00 on Monday. Burial will be held Tuesday, 11:00 am at Glen Eden Memorial Park, Livonia, Michigan.

I remember being a kid and going to her house on Hubbard, helping her babysit with my mom, and picking raspberries from her backyard. We met up with her years later at the CLS auction, and she missed this year from having a virus - only last month. What a shock. I'll always remember how nice she was.

So sad to hear of Betty's passing. I never saw her without a smile and a happy quip. I used to call her "Corny" because of her pretty apron with the corn cobs on it. One day she surprised me with a "corny" apron she made just for me. I will always treasure it and wear it with the happy memory of her. She was such a pleasure to know and I know she just brightened up heaven with her special smile and sunshiny humor. My sympathy to all her family....
