Betty LEMKE

My sisters and I remember our Aunt Betty as a strong, beautiful, talented woman. There are many things about her that impressed us. She was a successful business woman. Her ability to play the piano by ear was amazing! She kept in touch with us after our father's (her brother's) death. She took time to write about our father so we would have some memories to keep alive. And she took time to patiently answer my many questions. What a blessing! It's wonderful to know she was with her...

To Honor Aunt Betty: Despite having worked at corporate Hallmark, the true importance of a greeting card escaped me (Kathleen) until my mother died in 2008. When I sat down to read all the sympathy cards, I had a new appreciation of how my mother had touched the lives of others. And with that came further confirmation that my mother was a lovely woman. And I felt so lucky. So now when someone who has touched my life dies, I want to make sure the loved ones they left behind know how lucky...

This is a incredible life that was well lived. Betty was truly a woman who loved her family and shared her love and talents in with so many people. Her zest for living is found in her many life accomplishments. Her legacy will live on in all the hearts she touched.

We miss you, Betty! I will always be grateful for getting to know you and for the for the time that we all got to spend together as a family! I love you!
