Betty Maxine Dell

July 7, 1926 — February 26, 2014

Betty Bentley Dell Born July 7, 1926, Betty was raised on a family farm in Marathon surrounded by her parents, Edgar and Florence Bently and her sister, Donna, and two brothers, Russell and Rex. Her family was always important to her and she started her own shortly after graduating. Betty and family lived in various communities throughout the Midwest and Northwest where she worked as a small business bookkeeper, owned a beauty salon and managed restaurants and motels. She was a honest, hard and reliable worker. In the 90's she chose to move back to Marathon to care for her aging mother and reveled in the joy of coming home. In their later years, she and her husband, Gaylen, moved to Spencer where they remained. Her long battle with cancer ended on February 26, 2014. Her family wishes to thank the many wonderful health care professionals who helped her at the end of her journey. To us, each a hero. Thank you. Betty will be long remembered by her devoted husband, Gaylen, her son David Chase, daughters Ginny Culp and Michele Flock. And by her sister, Donna Urban and her brother, Russell Bentley, her five grandchildren, six great-grandchildren and a host of nieces and nephews.
