Elizabeth “Betty” Elvira Grassl, age 105, passed away peacefully on August 17, 2020, at Peabody Manor. Betty was born March 12, 1915, the eldest child of the late Peter and Mary (Johann) Dietzen. She married Elmer Grassl in 1941 and celebrated 55 wonderful years together before his passing.
Betty was a devoted wife, caring mother, treasured grandmother, talented homemaker, faithful member of Sacred Heart Parish and dedicated Gold Star Mother. She had a creative passion and was constantly perfecting new crafts, skills, and recipes. Betty designed and made many beautiful quilts for family but also volunteered with the Sacred Heart Quilt Group and knit hats and blankets for babies at St. Elizabeth Hospital.
Betty delighted in spending time with family and friends and enjoyed a good card game. She continued to win at cards even in recent years as her mind, memory, and sense of humor remained sharp. Until her last days, she knitted, crocheted, and used her iPad.
