Betty R. Asmus, 90, passed away on Thursday, April 3, 2014 at the Heritage Health Care Campus of Bowling
Green, Ohio where she has been a resident.

Betty’s greatest loves were her home and family. During her life she spent much time caring for others.
She loved being a farmer’s wife, where she and her husband were a true example of partnership and
loyalty; you very seldom saw one without the other.
She was an avid gardener and received several awards for the beautiful flowers that she took pride in.
Betty also enjoyed canning and preserving all the fruits and vegetables she grew in her gardens. In
addition, she was an excellent seamstress and loved sewing with her sisters and for her family.
Betty was a member of St. Paul Lutheran Church, Haskins, where through the years she volunteered her time
teaching Sunday School, helping with Bible School, singing in the choir, and serving on the visitation
team and Altar Guild.
