As she pursued her college education and working through her adult life, she strived to improve the quality of life for her family.
Family
She was a loving wife, mother, daughter, sister, and sister-in-law to her family.
She married Dennis James O’Neal in 1975 and children followed.
Bettie and Dennis were blessed with two children, son James Dwayne O’Neal and daughter Denise Renee O’Neal.
Bettie also was gifted with five grand-children. Madelin J. O’Neal, Julio C. O’Neal, Cullen J. O’Neal, John C. Doucet, and Cash Green.
She also grew up with a close family of siblings: Tom (Patty) Weter, Bill (Dee) Weter, Kathy (Doug) Gulling, Keith Weter, and Loretta (Rocky) Jacoby.
Bettie was a long time resident of Colorado Springs since 1982.
As a young girl, she wanted to work so badly that she told her employer at a near-by sandwich shop she was 3 years older than she really was. She knew she had a work ethic that surpassed, that of her co-workers.
Bettie’s work ethic was immeasurable, and it showed as she enjoyed a fulfilling career in geriatric care.
“Friend” was not a word that Bettie used loosely. If you heard “friend” from her lips, you had a special place in her heart
Bettie had a variety of interests that spanned from home to the road. She enjoyed riding her motorcycle, Cam-Am, and taking trips with her family.
She loved her home and interior decorating with her unique style.
At the end of her journey, she will be missed by one and all.
