Betty Jane Vanderpool, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and dear friend to so many; born on July 25, 1932 and passed away on August 12, 2022. She is survived by her children, Lloyd Vanderpool, Jan O’Halloran and husband Michael, Larry Vanderpool, Brian Vanderpool and partner Lisa, and her grandchildren, Stacy and husband Damon, David, Mitch and wife Emily, Mikaela, Shaunda, Cory, Cameron and great grandchildren Greer, Asher. Kourtney, Natilee, Colton, Alex, and Neil. Two sons Glen and Craig precede her death along with Bob, her beloved husband.
Betty and Bob were high school sweethearts and had a wonderful life with 6 children, married for 70 years before his passing. Her children remember her as faithful devoted wife, a wonderful mother who never missed a school or sport event for any of her kids (and we were busy!). She pioneered women’s paddle/racquetball in the late 60’s, then women’s handball in the 70’s until 2014. She loved to be around people and particularly enjoyed bringing people together such as starting the King City morning coffee group. Her big heart and kind soul was a mirror of her deep faith in Jesus Christ and a reverence of Catholic traditions.
A funeral service will be held on Wednesday, August 17, 2022, at 10:30 at the St. Anthony's Catholic Church (9905 SW McKenzie St, Tigard, OR 97223).
