With both sadness and gladness, we share that Betty Duncan Oberwortmann passed away Monday evening, October 11, 2021.  Betty was born on March 8, 1929, to Vernon Van Duke Duncan and Elizabeth (Lib) Gordon Duncan in Clayton, North Carolina.

Betty loved people and loved being involved.  Everywhere she lived, she was an active member of the community whether it was a class leader at Mainland High School Daytona Beach FL, president of Zeta Tau Alpha at Florida State University or the United Methodist Church where ever she lived.  Betty and her husband Harold moved to Lynden in 1997 where she was an active member of Lynden United Methodist Church, the Whatcom County PEO and Lynden Museum where she volunteered every Friday afternoon for close to 20 years.  In addition, Betty took great pride in her garden.  She could be seen working in her bright yellow hard hat from the Homestead golf course.

Betty is survived by her three children, Anne Oberwortmann Courtright of Houston TX, Mary Katharine (Kay) Schonberger of Peoria IL and John Howard Oberwortmann of Round Rock, TX and their respective spouses; 7 grandchildren  Keith Schonberger and wife Courtney in Houston TX, Greg Schonberger and wife Kelsie of Muscatine IA, Matthew Courtright and husband Patrick Johnson of Austin TX, Katharine (Katie) Courtright of Centennial CO, David Courtright of Washington DC, Jack Oberwortmann and James Oberwortmann of Round Rock TX; and 4 great grandchildren, Hailey, Avery and Samantha Schonberger of Muscatine, IA and Quinn Schonberger of Houston, TX.

Betty was preceded in death by her husband Harold in February of this year, her parents Duke (1955) and Lib (1988) Duncan and her brother Gordon (2018).

The family is planning a Celebration of Life gathering for both Betty and Harold in spring 2022 assuming the COVID risk has been reduced and it is safe for family to travel.
