Jim and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I have so many great memories of Betty, she was one in a million! My kids loved to trick or treat at your house, she always had the best treats in town. I'm glad I got to see you sitting with her outside Lutheran Living, and I'm sorry it was the last time I'll get to see her. My prayers are with you.

Don and I are so sorry to hear about Betty. I knew she'd not been well but it was still a shock to see her obituary. Betty's sense of humor was priceless and I really enjoyed spending time with her and Jim. The world will feel emptier without Betty but we're blessed to have known her.

Jim,
We were so very sorry to hear about Betty. She was always such a kind and caring person. I always enjoyed talking with her.
She has had so many struggles with her health, but was always a fighter.
Please know that we think of you often and will keep you in our prayers.

I have the deepest of respect for Betty as a person and educator. She taught my three children and encouraged me to continue my education. I'm sure she and my father Dick Brockett will be sharing memories and " horror " stories about their days at L M. I'm sure heaven will be a little brighter with Betty among the angels. Rest in peace.4ynyy

Betty was an amazing lady and she will be deeply missed. She was extremely kind and generous toward my daughter Audrey, and we looked forward to seeing her when we took trips to Grammas house. We will never forget her smiling face. Rest in peace, Betty.

Mrs. Houseman touched the lives of many students through the years. I remember dreaming of being a songwriter in my middle school days. I shared my dream and my work with Mrs. Houseman. She gave me her feedback and her advice - she encouraged me to aim high and always go for my dreams, pursue my goals.... I never became that songwriter, but I have an MBA, a successful career, and a happy life.
I’ve never forgotten how she made me feel as that young, impressionable girl. She shaped so many lives! Sending prayers and condolences to the family.

Mrs. Houseman had a great influence on my life during my middle school years at L-M. She taught me to write a check and balance a checkbook, a skill that has been invaluable. I remember clearly during the lesson that she told us, "Just because you have checks, doesn't mean that you have money to cover them. You can't use a check unless you have money in the bank!" Mrs. Houseman made math fun and always had time to listen to us.

She was Miss Lange when she was my fifth grade teacher. She is one of my teachers who had the most lasting effect on me and I will never forget her. I like to think I was one of her children.
