Betty R. Gossett

Betty Rae (Meadows) Gossett, 82, passed away at her home surrounded by her family on September 13, 2020 after a long illness. Betty was born November 7, 1937 in Mounds, IL to Raymond and Evelyn(Peterson) Meadows. Betty graduated from La Crosse Central High School in La Crosse, WI. She lived in OKC and worked at Presbyterian Hospital for over 20 years. Betty loved flowers, going to thrift stores and garage sales. Her sneeze would scare anyone around her because it was so loud and she sneezed so many times. Betty loved life and her loud laugh was contagious. She laughed at her dog when he would attack the vacuum cleaner when it was turned on and she had to cycle through all families’ names trying to think of the right one. She would always tell whoever was carving the turkey at Thanksgiving to “save the neck for Paul” and hollered when the grandkids stepped on her toes. Betty never allowed life circumstances to keep her down. She is survived by her children, Becky Turpin and husband, Ronnie, Paul Duncan and wife, Debi and Randy Duncan and wife, Sondra, sister, Jean Roth and husband, Tom as well as many grandchildren and great grandchildren who she loved dearly.
