Surrounded by her loving family, Betty Rose Whitefoot age 78 of Kenosha, went to her heavenly home on Tuesday, March 31, 2015 at United Hospital System – St. Catherine’s Campus.
Born in Kenosha on May 5, 1936, she was the daughter of the late Cyril and Emma (Oechler) Smith. She attended local schools and was a graduate of Kenosha High School.
On July 24, 1954 at Friedens Evangelical Lutheran Church, she was united in marriage to Charles Whitefoot. Sadly, after 40 years of marriage, he preceded her in death in 1995.
Betty was an active and faithful member of Mt. Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church. She was a member of Mt. Zion’s Altar Guild, was a girl pioneer leader and vacation bible school teacher.
She enjoyed spending time in the beautiful tranquility of the north woods, gardening; especially flowers, cooking, baking, and she was the happiest in the company of her beautiful family.
