Elizabeth "Betty" J. Horsch

Elizabeth "Betty" J. Horsch, 79 passed away on Thursday, August 22, 2024, in Goddard, Kansas.  She was born August 17, 1945, in Wichita, Kansas, and grew up in Andale, Kansas, where she graduated from Andale High School in 1964.

Betty was a beloved mother, grandma, sister, aunt, and friend.  She loved going to the movies, spending time with family, and sitting outside talking with friends.  She loved her plants, was a master of crossword puzzles and word searches, and when she could she loved her embroidery when her eyes allowed it.  She was a wonderful mother who was always there when we needed her the most, offering support, wisdom, and love in abundance. 

Betty spent 18 years at Pawnee Color.  She then moved to CNA work taking care of family and friends where she referred to the ones she cared for as her “Little People”.

Betty will be profoundly missed, but her spirit will continue to guide and inspire all who were blessed to know her.

She is preceded in death by parents, Elmer and Loretta Horsch; sister, Norma Jean Blasi; brother, Alan Horsch.

Betty is survived by children Kathy (Craig) Weber, Jay Beardmore and Theresa Jenkins; 10 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren; siblings, Gerry (Pat) Horsch, Bob (Vicki) Horsch, Bill (Marjean) Horsch, Dave (Ellen) Horsch, Kent (Julie) Horsch, Joe (Karen) Horsch, Donna (Loren) Armstrong, Brenda (Greg) Norris and Janet (Todd) Brown.
