Pomerenke, Jr. on November 6, 1953 in Waco.  Betty was employed for most of her working career with the First National Bank of McGregor and retired after 43 years of dedicated service in 2007.

Betty lived for spending quality time with her grandchildren; be it going shopping, summer vacations, visiting the local parks or just hanging around the house playing games at the kitchen table.  Her grandkids loved spending time with her too.  Sunday dinners after church were essential for the entire Pomerenke family.  Betty was the happiest when she was surrounded by her family and friends.

Pall Bearers will be Waylan Goodwin, Barry Lightfoot, Steve Pomerenke, Zach Pomerenke, Zeb Pomerenke, and Jim Yost.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to the staff at Westview Manor and Providence Hospice.
