Betty Louise (Richart) Lane, 100, passed away October 21, 2020 at Greenwood Village South. Betty was born May 24, 1920 in Seymour, Indiana to the late Emma (Hunt) and Leo Richart, the second of 5 children.
While working as a military secretary at Freeman Field in Seymour, she met her lifetime love and dashing pilot, Jack, and they were married in 1944. He passed away weeks after they celebrated their 70th anniversary. Betty is survived by sons, Richard (Diana) Lane, Robert (Linda) Lane; daughter, Barbara (Gary) Huston; grandchildren, Susan (Grant) Collinsworth, Joseph (Lindsay) Lane, Corey (Thien) Lane, Norm Schwartz, Ian Huston, Emma (Mike) Huang, and Spencer Huston; great grandchildren, Ariana and Kaia Lane, Madalyn, Grace, Graham and Terrin Collinsworth; brother Paul (Frances) Richart and many extended family members.

In her "free" time, Betty combined socializing and volunteerism as a member and officer of her Tri Kappa sorority, Latrian, and Guardian Angel Guild as well as President of both Nativity and Cathedral High School mothers' clubs, and as a Boy Scout & Girl Scout leader. She also stayed active, golfing well into her 90s, and in the past with her ladies golf leagues at CCI, couples bowling league at IAC, and monthly ladies and couples bridge groups. Not an avid swimmer but always game, she would don her cap to waterski, making sure to never get her face wet. Betty was the consummate host and loved parties with family and their many friends. Mom will be remembered for her calm demeanor ("This too shall pass") and her mischievous giggle.
