Betty L. Strom, 83, of Crosslake, formerly of Duluth, went to be with her Lord and her beloved Pal on Monday, May 14, 2012.

Betty was born in Duluth on Oct. 19, 1928 to parents, Arthur and Myrtle Sivertson. She graduated from Denfeld in 1945.

Betty married Enar Strom on Aug. 14, 1948 and began their life story.

She spent both her childhood and retirement years on Isle Royale. Betty loved needlework (slippers for everyone), gardening, cooking, entertaining, was a wonderful storyteller and author, but her true passion was her family.

She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Enar in 2007; an infant son; and great granddaughter, Jayda.

Betty is survived by her children, Todd of Redwing, Jody (Doug) of St. Anthony, Andy (Jill) of Murphy Lake, Patty (Jim) of Murphy Lake, Chris (Linda) of Midway River; 22 grandchildren; 18 great grandchildren, and one on the way; brother, Howard "Bud" Sivertson; nieces and nephews; lifelong friends; and Murphy the Moose.

VISITATION: 10 a.m. until the 11 a.m. service on Friday, May 18, 2012 in Pike Lake Presbyterian Community Church, 5611 Martin Rd in Duluth.

Love to you all from the Amendola clan. I was honored to know both your Mom and Dad growing up - They were the best of the best!! So many Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings together singing in the choir and fellowship when my folks and they would get together. Betty's smile and laugh were some of the best things :) She will be missed and the world a less shining place without her. Lori Amendola

Helen & Earl Cook We've now lost the other half of a fantastic couple. Through the years we managed to make contacts with Betty and Enar somewhere on the planet. It was always too short a time. We'll sorely miss them in our lives as we dream back to Dear Old Denfeld days. Bundles of Aloha
