Betty Joann Barta, 70, of Lexington, died Saturday, Oct. 23, 2010, at Mary 
Lanning Memorial Hospital in Hastings.

Funeral Services will be Wednesday, Oct. 27, 2010, at 10:30 a.m. at Trinity 
Lutheran Church in Lexington with Pastor Michael Gruhn officiating. 

Burial will be in the Evergreen Cemetery at Lexington. 

Visitation was Tuesday, Oct. 26, 2010, from 5-7 p.m. at the Reynolds-Love 
Funeral Home in Lexington. 

She was born Dec. 8, 1939 at Colome, S.D. to John and Elsie (Schwartz) 
Ropers.  She moved to Nebraska at age six with her family.  She graduated from 
Oconto High School in 1958, and was united in marriage to Harmon Barta on June 
22, 1958, at First Lutheran Church at Buffalo.
   
Harmon and Betty lived in and around Lexington most of their marriage.  Betty 
was a homemaker and raised seven children.  After raising her children she 
worked cleaning motel rooms and later as a housekeeper at a Lexington nursing 
home.
  
She was a long time member of Trinity Lutheran Church where she taught Sunday 
and weekday school, sang in the choir, and was in various ladies groups and 
also helped with family night on Wednesday nights.  She has been a tremendous 
witness of her faith to her family and anyone she came in contact with by 
spreading the word of God and His love.  In July of 2002, she had an accident 
painting her home that left her paralyzed which only gave her another witness 
opportunity.  In the last eight years she had made many friends during all of 
her hospital and rehab hospital stays.  She recently moved to Perkins Pavilion 
in Hastings where she lived until her death.  
 
Betty is survived by her loving husband, Harmon Barta of Lexington; her 
children, Osa Joann (Kenneth) Brooks of Hastings, Harmon M. Barta, Jr. of 
Hastings, Chester Barta of Clay Center, Terry Barta of Exeter, Bryan (Mary) 
Barta of Brainard, Elsie (Art) Underwood of Lexington, Travis (Rebecca) Barta 
of Bellevue; 12 grandchildren, two great-grandchildren; nieces, nephews, other 
relatives and friends; two brothers:, Louie (Deloris) Ropers of Sargent, Henry 
(Wanda) Ropers of Rockville and two sisters, Anna (Edmond) Graczyk of Sumner 
and Helen (Don) Barta of Lexington.

Betty was preceded in death by her parents and one sister, Minnie Hansen.
