IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Matilda "Betty"
Brunner
April 24, 1921 – November 24, 2013
Obituary
Matilda Elizabeth "Betty" Brunner, 92 of Las Vegas, NV and formerly of Nisland, SD went home to be with the Lord she loved and served for so many years.
Betty was born in Chicago, Illinois on April 24, 1921 to Adam and Elizabeth Harvey. Betty was one of eight children raised during the Great Depression. Like many of her generation, her resilience, character and positive attitude toward life was molded and influenced by the difficult economic conditions the family endured during those early years of her life. Betty met her future husband, Reinhold, during WWII and they were married in 1943. After the War ended, they settled on the family farm in Nisland, South Dakota. With the love and help of many in-laws and close family friends, Betty adapted to the many new challenges of being a farmer's wife and the beginning of a large family. Together, they raised six children on the family farm and each have their individual memories of how their Mom provided the wisdom, guidance and Godly character she reflected so well in her own life. Over the last several years, Betty made her permanent residence in Las Vegas, NV where five of her children and many grandchildren live.
Betty is survived by her six children: Daughters: Diane Knighton, Las Vegas, NV; Patricia (Patrick) Mandel, Las Vegas, NV; Sons: Robert (Gail), Las Vegas, NV; Daniel (Tammy), Las Vegas, NV. Thomas (Quin), Nisland, SD, and Jeffrey (Pauline), Las Vegas, NV; sister: Rose Galowitch, Oklahoma City, OK and brother, Rheinhold Harvey, Las Vegas, NV. In addition, Betty is survived by many grandchildren, great grandchildren, and one great-great grandchild. She was preceded in death by her parents and husband, Reinhold in 1992; her brothers Henry, Phillip, Gus and John and sister Elsie.
Memorial service will be held at 10:30 A.M. on Saturday, December 21, 2013 at the Christian Life Center in Belle Fourche. In Betty's honor, a memorial has been established for either Child Evangelism Fellowship or Nathan Adelson Hospice.
Arrangements are under the care of Fidler-Isburg Funeral Chapels and Crematory Service of Spearfish.
