Betty Kolb Carpenter

Karen, Kristin and Karla, I am sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. I will always remember Betty just like the picture depicts her. Vibrant, smiling and always sweet. May your memories be of comfort in the days ahead-Sue Brick Reddan

All of us at Bethel Sales loved Betty. Always smiling and so sweet and thoughtful.. They did not come nicer than Betty. May God grant you peace and comfort in the days ahead. Zelda Droster

Betty was a long time friend and Mendota Hills neighbor. She assisted me with Brownies when our daughters were small and as a fellow member of Mendota Gardeners garden club. Her help and friendship was always welcome and I cherish the memories. My sympathy to Karen, Kristen, and Karla and I am glad she has found peace in God’s heaven. Betsey MCKINNEY

I loved Betty and have sweet memories of her...especially at this time of year. She crocheted beautiful ornaments for us for our Christmas tree. She also made thoughtful potholders out of clothing I wore when I was pregnant. Always smiling and cheerful, upbeat and kind and so creative with the wonderful gifts she gave. Sending love to Karen, Kris and Karla. She was a spectacular woman.

To my dear cousins Karen, Kristin and Karla, I send our sincere condolences for the loss of your Mother Betty. Betty and Quin were great relatives to the young Suckow kids. The lake cabin at Green Lake provided many memories of running down the hill and jumping into the lake. Betty hosted many picnics, birthday parties and sleepovers. We caught fire flies and gazed at the star lite sky. During my years at UW, your parents provided a home away from home when things got a little overwhelming or I was homesick. Home cooked meals or help sewing a formal, Betty was there with a smiling face and helpful hand. This week when I got out the hand knit Christmas stockings that Betty made for each of us, I shed a few tears. She touched each one of our lives and made them better. I will miss her. I love you dear Aunt Betty. Kathy Kolb Murtfeldt
