Betty Wuestefeld

Krey

Betty Wuestefeld Krey, 91 years old of Florence, KY, passed away peacefully Wednesday morning, November 2, 2022. Growing up in Florence, Betty graduated from St. Henry Grade School and High School. After high school she worked in downtown Cincinnati, often walking from the KY side of the Ohio river, across the bridge to Cincinnati. Betty met Stan, her future husband, at a dance in Cedar Grove and they got married when she was 19. After living in Harrison for a short time, they moved into the Cottage behind her parents and then into the house that Stan built in Erlanger, Ky. In the fall of 1965 they moved their whole family of eight children to Logan, Indiana.

She always had a big vegetable garden and canned much of what they grew. Betty was an avid reader of romance novels and continued to listen to them when her eyesight started failing. Betty enjoyed going shopping and picking up little gifts here and there for her family. She dearly missed her shopping trips in her later years. Betty also enjoyed cooking and baking for her family. Once the children started school Betty worked part time outside the home. Two of her favorite jobs were P&G product testing and working at Weight Watcher's.

Betty remained lifelong friends with many of her friends from elementary school. They got together once a month to play cards and visit and formed a strong lifelong friendship. Family was very important to Betty and she loved nothing more than family get togethers and holding the new grand and great grandbabies.

Betty will be deeply missed by her children Linda (Bob) Eilers, of Florence, Ron (Pam Dore') Wuestefeld of New York, Pat Bradshaw (Bob, deceased) of Burlington, Gary (Marilyn) Wuestefeld of Logan, Regina (Harold) Larmann of New Alsace, Nancy Morrison of Florence, Diane (Brian) Baird of Aurora, Paul (Dee) Wuestefeld of Batesville; 16 grandchildren and 26 great grandchildren; her siblings Bob (Marlene) Becker, Paul (Margie) Becker, Jim (Marilyn) Becker, Nancy Roland, Barbara Scott, Linda Raper; and lifelong friends Irma, Joanie, Jean and Sis. She also is survived by her beloved dogs, Buttons & Mia. She is preceded in death by Stan, her husband of 33 years; siblings Lou Becker, Jack Becker, Larry Becker, Rose Marie Gorman; brothers-in-law Bob Roland, Harry Scott, Monte Raper, and second husband Gus Foppe.
