Betsy Aspden Hurty

Betsy Aspden Hurty, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully on February 13, 2025, at the age of 73. Born on October 24, 1951 to William Hayden Aspen and Betty Jean Anderson, Betsy lived a life filled with creativity, devotion to her family, and a love for the beautiful things in life.

A graduate of Highland High School, Betsy went on to attend the University of Utah, where she was a member of the Pi Beta Phi sorority. Her artistic talents were many, and she found joy in painting, scrapbooking, crafting, and cross-stitching.

A homemaker at heart, Betsy found immense joy in raising her children and was a constant presence at their sporting events and extracurricular activities. She cherished her role as a grandmother and could often be found cheering on her grandchildren at Jr. Jazz games, karate classes, and other family events.

Summer vacations at Signal Mountain held a special place in Betsy’s heart. She cherished the time spent with her family boating on the lake and taking in the breathtaking views of the Tetons.

Betsy was preceded in death by her parents, brother William “Billy” Aspden Jr, and her husband, Richard Hurty. She is survived by her loving sister, Barbara Gibbons, her children, Kristen, Tony (Ashley) and Tim (Jessa), and her grandchildren, Jayden and Ashton, her honorary daughter, Jenna, and her honorary granddaughter, Layla.

Betsy will be deeply missed by her family and friends, but her memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
