She was a Sister, Aunt, Mother, Grandmother and beloved Wife. Betty Jean Sauerwein was born on April 14, 1937. She married William Sauerwein on December 6, 1952. Betty and William raised 6 children during their marriage. She passed in the loving care of her family on Tuesday, April 19, 2016. She was 79 years of age.
Betty raised Jacqueline Haynes, Steve Sauerwein, Gary Sauerwein (deceased), Linda Schwab, Vivian Schwab and Rhonda Murdock. Her love lived on in the lives of her grandchildren: Robert III, Frankie, Steve Jr., Heather, Niki, Justin, Amanda, Kyle, Billy, Bradley, Cody, and Carissa and four great grandchildren: Ella, Maddie, Robert IV and Kendra.
Betty was always involved with her grandchildren and looked forward to completing crafts with them at holidays. As a mother she was the kind that would allow her kids to have a full ice cream bar for dinner if everyone agreed. She loved spoiling her grandchildren and would often buy more toys then was ever needed.
She was always willing to step in and help. Her love and support has enabled the ongoing love of a large family. Memories of her and the family that she raised will continue in the hearts of her loved ones. She will be dearly missed and has passed the torch of love to her children.
It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye. We know that she is no longer in pain and is in the arms of her loved ones in heaven. Her presence will be felt in the smiles and hugs of her family.
Visitation will be Saturday, April 23, 2016 from 1pm to 3pm with the 3pm funeral service immediately following all at Meyers Funeral Home, Batesville, IN. Rev. David Johnston officiating.
