Betty passed away on Wednesday, December 14, 2016 at Chadron Community Hospital surrounded by her family.
Betty was born on June 10, 1927 in Chadron, NE to Earl E. and Maud M. Burk. She graduated from Chadron High School in 1945. On May 29, 1945, she was united in marriage to Richard Marion McHenry in Chadron. To this union, four daughters were born: Mary, Jeanie, Barbara and Ruthie. Marion was still in the U.S. Navy for the first one and a half years of their marriage, and they lived in Beaufort, SC; Westerly, RI; Key West, FL and Norfolk, VA before returning home to Chadron. Except for six months living in Corona, CA and two years living in American Falls, ID, Betty and her family lived in Chadron. In 1960, they built their home on a quarter section of the McHenry farm. Betty continued to live on the farm northeast of Chadron until moving into town in July 1991.
Betty and husband Marion were baptized into the First Baptist Church in May 1951. In 1961, Betty and Marion became members of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (now known as the Community of Christ Church). Betty wanted her family and friends to know how very much she depended on and trusted God in her everyday life. From the time that she woke in the morning, until she went to sleep at night, God was very close to her in her thoughts and in her daily activities. She was thankful for her family, friends and health.
Until the death of her husband in December 1974, Betty was happy remaining in the home, taking care of her home, family, garden and flowers, which brought her much happiness and contentment. After Marion’s death in 1974, Betty worked outside the home for the Chamber of Commerce, Anderson’s Clothing, Chadron State College, Pine Ridge Job Corp Center and 11 1/2 years for the Ben Franklin Store before her retirement in January 1989. After her retirement, she enjoyed volunteer work for the Retired Senior Volunteer Program.
Now as she passes over to her Heavenly Father, she will be greatly missed by her survivors: daughters Jeanie Dawkins of Chadron, NE, Barbara Williams of Loveland, CO, and Ruthie and Bob Stowell of Scottsbluff, NE; son-in-law David Carrick of Chadron, NE; sister-in-law Phyllis Burk of Chadron, NE; grandchildren Tim, Davey, Angel, Julie, Lori, Jennifer, Richard, Nicholas, Dennis, Jason, Nickie and Heather; great-grandchildren Brandon, Chloe, Kaitlyn, Samantha, Bryant, Braxton and Sarah; and numerous nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband Marion; daughter Mary; brothers Kenneth, Phillip, and Larry; and sisters Cleo and Kathryn.
Chamberlain Chapel of Chadron is in charge of arrangements for Betty L. McHenry.
