Betty Uvaas, age 93, passed from this earth into eternal life on May 1, 2022.
She was born April 27, 1929, at home. Betty described herself as an outdoorsy girl who preferred helping her dad with the farm work to working inside the house. After high school she went to nursing school in Milwaukee, while her sweetheart, John, served in the army. They were married in 1952 and soon bought the farm in the town of Winchester from her parents. There they raised their five children. Betty was a very busy lady in the 60's: raising kids, helping milk cows, tending her gardens, when she took a job working as a nurse at St Joseph's residence in New London for her "night out". She loved old people, garden produce, afternoons at the pond and everything about her grandchildren. She spent her life caring for people: helping sick neighbors, serving funeral lunches, and sending cards that said, "I love you, and Jesus loves you even more." She could "put the house in a bag" and whip up a meal beyond compare at a moment's notice.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 60 years, John Uvaas; her daughter, Mary Jo; her parents, Erwin and Myrtle Metzig; sister, Donna Mae; and sister-in-law, Audrey Mueller.
Betty is survived by her children: John (Lori) Uvaas, Peter (Cindy) Uvaas, Fay (Dennis) Scheurer, Amy (Wade) Clarke. She cherished her ten grandchildren: Adam (Jen) Uvaas, Ben (Lindsey) Uvaas, Jake Uvaas, Zach (Kristin) Uvaas, Molly (Kraig) Shillcox, Leah, Leslie and Lindsey Scheurer; and Addie and Katie Clarke. She loved her six great-grandchildren: Anthony, Talan, Landen, Zoe, Everett, and Kit.
