November 30, 1927-September 25, 2020. Betty Jean Morgenthaler, age 92, of Anacortes, WA went to be with her Lord, peacefully, at Rosario Assisted Living in Anacortes, with family at her side, on Friday evening, September 25, 2020. Betty was born in Elliott, Iowa and spent most of her childhood there. Her family moved to Anacortes when she was in high school, she met Roger, and they were married after World War II.

Betty is survived by her sons, Mike (Kathy), Pat, (Patty), Jeff (Marcia) and daughters, Jill (Jim) Foss, Julie (Perry) Wollam, her sister, Barbara Merrifield, and her brother, Ted Elliott. She is also survived by her grandchildren, Andy (Krista) Morgenthaler, Melissa (Bobby) Miller, Jason (Kelly) Morgenthaler, Holly Morgenthaler (Megan Moore), Lisa Morgenthaler, T.J. (Danielle) Morgenthaler, Mindy (Rob) Rice, Kevin (Rachel) Foss, Kaitlynn Wollam, and great grandchildren, Breann, Reese, Brennan, and Rowan Morgenthaler, Quinn and Chase Miller, Ethan and Riley Foss, Nicholas Rice, and Liam Cox. She also leaves behind many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Roger, her parents, Ted and Wilma Elliott, her brother, Bill Elliott, and her grandson, Connor Wollam.

Betty loved gardening, camping, and sewing. She was an avid supporter of all of her grandkids in whatever they chose to pursue, whether it be athletics, horsemanship, academics or music. If they were doing it, she was there! This was one of her greatest gifts to them.

Betty was a wonderful mother, grandmother and great grandmother, and a great influence on many in Anacortes during her lifetime. Her home was
always open— to anyone, and her kindness and Godly wisdom will be long remembered.
