Betty Ann Kwitkoski, born July 25, 1946 died December 19, 2016.

Since this is my public farewell to this world, my family and my friends, I thought it should come from my own pen. Yes, I'm writing my own obituary. (talk about a control freak)

Most obituaries usually mention the family left behind, what the deceased did for a living and what they did after retirement. That's boring.

My family and close friends know all that, and those reading this that barely know me, it's of no importance.

I wanted to tell my family and friends that love and like me, that I love each of you dearly.

I don't want you to mourn my passing, but to be happy for what lies ahead and to tell you the truth, I'm kind of excited to see what's on "the other side".

Besides, before you know it, I'll be seeing you all pretty soon anyway!

There will be no viewing, just a private service / ceremony in my own backyard.

In closing I'd like to say "God Bless You" to everyone who has always been there for me.

Love, Betty Ann

Boop will truly be missed. I never called her Betty. Especially her sharp wit and humor. I looked forward to her emails each day or our phone calls. Sometimes when I was a little down, I'd read her email and I'd laugh. I envied her terrific imagination. She was truly a great friend. I know she now looks down on her family and friends with smiles and no pain. Love You Boop!

Family and friends. I am so deeply sorry to hear about your loss. I hope you can find comfort during this difficult time when you read Acts 24:15 and Psalms 37:29.
