From the Wisconsin State Journal or Capital Times, madison,
Dane Co., Wi. Otterson, Betty Jane MADISON - Betty Jane
Otterson, age 77, passed away on Thursday, Aug. 19, 2004,
while vacationing with her family in Colorado. She was born
in Alma, Wis., on Oct. 13, 1926, the daughter of Orval and
Gena (Hanson) Jost. Betty was a graduate of Alma High
School. On June 21, 1947, she married Orlin J. Otterson.
Betty was employed by Dane County in a variety of positions
which included the DHIA, secretary to the county agent, and
most recently accounting clerk for social services. After
successful recovery from breast cancer she retired in 1990.
Betty was a member of Bethel Lutheran Church for 57 years.
Her volunteer efforts included Bethel's Altar Guild, work in
the Parish Shop, Bossom Buddies and Look Good Feel Better.
Betty received awards including state and national
recognition as volunteer coordinator of Look Good Feel
Better and was named in "Ten Who Make a Difference" by the
Wisconsin State Journal in 1997. She enjoyed traveling in
the U.S. and abroad, square dancing and camping, both in
Florida and Waupaca, with dear friends. She was a very proud
and involved wife, mother and grandmother, and rarely missed
an event that her sons and granddaughters were involved in.
Betty is survived by her loving husband of 57 years, Orlin;
her sons, David (Molly) and Tom (Patty); three
granddaughters, Brynna, Sam and Bailey; two aunts; and many
nieces, nephews and cousins. She was preceded in death by
her parents; and a very special sister, Phyllis "Fa" O'Neil.
