Betty Jane Kondis passed away March 22 at home in Rochester, Michigan. She is survived by her husband of 75 years, Eugene (Pete) Kondis, daughter Karen Clemons (Mark) of Rochester Hills, MI, grandson Andrew Clemons (Emily Swanson) of Washington, sisters Gloria Hollis of Arizona and Lois Bryan of Virginia and many nieces and nephews. She was the sister of the late Jean Tartler and Carl Wiltrout.
Betty was born in 1924 at her grandmother's home in Rockwood, PA, the first child on Claude and Louise Wiltrout. She grew up in Munhall, PA and married her high school sweetheart, Pete, in June 1944 just before he shipped out to England with the Army Air Corps during World War II. Later they moved to Detroit, MI to San Mateo, CA, to Napa, CA, and finally to Rochester in 1999.
Sha was an active volunteer for many organizations, several of which were associated with churches she attended. At the time of her death she had been a 20-year member of St. Paul's United Methodist Church in Rochester. She was an avid reader, bridge player, and shopper-and she was always dressed with flair.
To know Betty was to love her. Her smile lit the room and she lived each day full of love for her family and friends and grateful for a long and happy life.
We celebrate her life today even as we grieve her loss. Due to the current national emergency, plans for a memorial service will be determined at a future date.
Memorial donations in Betty's honor can be made to the St. Paul's United Methodist Church or to a charity of the donors choice.
