FITCHBURG - Elizabeth R. “Betty” Armstrong of Fitchburg, Wis., passed into the arms of Jesus on Sunday, March 6, 2022. She was born in Madison, Wis., on Jan. 23, 1936, the daughter of Leonard and Regina Weber.

Betty graduated from Middleton High School and went on to marry Bill Armstrong, who also recently passed. Together, they had two children, Jeanne Armstrong and Karen Hansen. They had two granddaughters whom they adored, Lori (Chris) Cater and Lynsey Hansen (Drue Christianson). Betty wanted to leave a shining example of being the hands and feet of Jesus for her children and grandchildren.

Betty spent many years loving other people’s children as her own. She and Bill taught Sunday School at Monona Oaks Church and had foster children as well as their own children. Betty taught 5-day clubs, was involved with Child Evangelism, and Pioneer Girls. Betty helped to get children with special needs into the school district in the 1960s. She had a fighting spirt and never took no for an answer. Her legacy of hard work, determination, and having a heart for other people will always be with us. People may pass but memories do not. Hold them tightly. No one is promised tomorrow and life changes in an instant. Family is important, keep them close.

Betty is survived by her daughters and grandchildren; brothers, Ed (Kathy) Weber, Harold (Sue) Weber, Paul (Ruthann) Weber, Joe Weber and John (Janice) Weber; sisters-in-law, Shirley Fogo (Charles Oliver) and Ruth Reichel; as well as many nieces, nephews and special friends. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, William; sister, Mary Ann Volenec; and brother, Jerome Weber.

A celebration of life will be held at Monona Oaks church, 6200 Monona Drive, Monona, at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, March 26, 2022. Visitation will be held at the church from 10 a.m. until the time of the service. A light lunch will be served afterwards.
