Betty worked along side Eugene to support their family. Her jobs have included housewife/farmer, picking potatoes by Roosevelt, climbing the 110’ Clear River fire tower during fire season, phone sales at Marvin Windows office, and Western Protection Security owned by Bill Ellis at Marvin Millwork for 20 years. She retired from security on February 14, 2002.
Betty was active in community affairs. She was in the garden club, 4H with her children, PTA, Clear River Ladies Aid, room mother at school, and past president of the American Legion Auxiliary. Betty enjoyed “snowcatting” with her Polaris snowmobile. She had a large lawn, big garden and lots of flowers. Betty was very creative. She always had a project going, including flower arrangements, oil painting, and rosemaling. During the last few years she was cutting and sewing quilt tops for the Zion Lutheran mission project. This winter she sewed over 50 quilt tops. Betty loved to take care of others. If you came to visit, there always was a cup of coffee and a “snack” on the table. There probably was a reason the house CB name was “Coffee Base”.
Betty is survived by her 2 sons and their wives, her daughter and her husband, a brother, 2 sisters, seven grandchildren, seven step-grandchildren, and ten great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her husband Eugene, parents, Ingvald and Florence Olufson; brother, John (Bud) Olufson; sisters Jean Joing and Lucy Harrison.
