Betty Louise Mattson

Betty was our next door neighbor and dear friend to my mother. We were the first couple of homes of many on that street, with very young families, growing up through my mid teen years. I remember Betty coming over for coffee weekly, in our kitchen, where she also helped my mom color her hair. Betty was always smiling and had a memorable, sweet, cheerful laugh. I remember her being a relief to our church, to have her as a talented organist in my church. My father and I last saw her about 10 or 15 years ago, with her husband, in our old church basement for a special church anniversary. We sat together and had a nice chat. I didn't realize she was a nurse and was involved with care, locally. I am an RN and I wonder if somehow she inspired me. I remember the Mattsons putting out their Christmas Nativity Scene. As a small child, I couldn't wait for that colorful, realistic scene to go up, across their front lawn, thinking the animals and people were alive. I do think of the Mattsons with that scene every year, as I continue to grow a similar set out on my porch to spread the Christmas message. I started setting it up again with this memory 2 weeks ago. I have now addednew the wise men, shepherd and angels on the lawn. Thank you, Mattsons. Blessings to the family. Love, Linda

Betty, as my sister-in- law I will miss you so much. You welcomed me into your family so many years ago. My Sympathy to all of your family.

What a beautiful memorial tribute to Betty! I'm so glad we could be with you all in spirit. She definitely will be missed! Love you all! Beautiful music, beautiful verses and poems. A wonderful service!

I will miss her spirit, her music, and her love. I will always cherish her care after my mom died. As a young person at 13 years old, it was hard to process that grief. The greatest comfort I remember is Aunt Betty wrapping me up in her arms and letting me know I was loved.

In the '90's Betty manicured Joyce's mother's nails as a volunteer at Luther Manor. They shared many good times as P.K's. We will miss Betty when we pass by her patio door on our walks at Luther Manor.

Condolences to all of Betty’s children and grandchildren; they truly are a great legacy. Aunt Betty - well done, good and faithful servant.

God has called another angel home. My deepest sympathy to her family as you mourn the loss of this beautiful woman. May she now rest in peace

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
