She was one of the kindest people on the planet. She loved everybody and showed it in her daily life. She was the best wife, mother and friend. Betty put her family first and raised her children, had the grandchildren at her house daily while the parents worked. Then did the same with her great grandchildren. Her love for her family was always first. Betty was an avid reader, loved to cook, bake, sew and make crafts. She was a Royals and Chiefs fan. She loved planting her flowers in the spring. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband John, sister Virginia, and daughter Donna. She is survived by her brother George Norris, daughter Janice Nodwell (Ron), Grandchildren Carl W. Trober (Christina) & Christi Trober. Great grandchildren Zian, Mya, and Gracie Trober. Betty was an example of a life well lived - she will be sorely missed but not forgotten, as she will live on in our hearts forever. May God bless her soul. Thank you, Betty, for touching our lives. There is comfort in knowing you are in heaven watching over us for eternity.
