Betty Lou Bonnett was born November 20, 1942 in Killdeer, ND to Albert and Ida (Singer) Bonnett. Betty had 12 brothers and sisters. When she was 2 years old she moved to Butte, MT. Shortly after that the family moved to Columbia Falls where she attended school and graduated from Columbia Falls High School.
Betty was blessed with 6 children; Deborah, Donald, Forest, Joletha, Lanita, and Leida.
Betty was a bit of a gypsy and loved to move to different towns and houses. She spent the majority of her working career as a police dispatcher and manager of Woods Mini Mart. She moved permanently to Baker, MT in 2010, where she made her home ever since. Betty never met a stranger. People loved her and she loved them. She enjoyed playing cards, bingo, and crocheting. She made many of her children’s clothes when they were little and also made her daughter’s wedding dress. Betty liked to bowl and pick huckleberries. She was a good dancer and practiced line dancing at a honky tonk in Lawrence, Kansas. She loved country western music. Betty would attend church every Sunday.
Thank you to everyone at Fallon Medical for taking such good care of her. She really enjoyed the home.
