Betty Jane (Miller) Mayefski

I am but a stranger here, Heaven is my home.

Betty Jane Mayefski, our dearest mother, grandmother and great grandmother went to be home with the Lord on Monday, June 8, 2020.  Betty was born on September 19, 1928 to Elmer and Anna (Rahn) Miller.  On July 7, 1951 she was united in marriage to John Mayefski and had 59 years of marriage prior to his passing in 2010. She was a lifelong member of St. John United Church of Christ and was very active in her church and the Women’s Guild.  Betty volunteered at the polls for every election.  Most of all Betty was a caretaker and was always taking care of her family and her church.

Betty will be sadly missed by her children; David (Vicki) Mayefski and Lisa (Randy) Gunderson, grandchildren; Kathryn and Taylor Schmidt, Stephanie Mayefski, Rachel and Adam Stephenson and Joseph and Karen Mayefski, Jon Gunderson and Becca Gunderson, 17 great grandchildren; Malachi, Ruth, Leo, Anthony, Fossatina, Adele, Maria, Braeden, Maleah, Keera, Aubrey, Raelynn, Jozlynn, Murphy, Kyle, Saphira and Sonja, her sister Ellen Strommen, sister-in-law Alice Miller, nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. 

Betty was preceded in death by her parents, her dear husband John, a brother Elmer Miller and sister Marion Huntley and brothers-in-law Dean Strommen and Dick Huntley.
