Ganow on November 23, 1957, at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church, in Grand Island, NE.  To this union seven children were born: Chris, Dave, Joyce, Kathy, Mike, Deb, and Matt.

Betty loved Clyde and her family dearly and was faithful to pray over them every day.  Her love for God was modeled and passed on to each of her children.  Her favorite color was pink.  Betty will be greatly missed and forever live in our hearts.  We are so very thankful for the loving care and guidance given by Dr. Kimberly A.
