She was the daughter of the late John and Margaret (Karls) Statz. She was united in marriage to Joseph F. Endres on November 8, 1955. Betty was no stranger to hard work raising her 14 children on the farm. She enjoyed the small moments in life and found a special way to connect with each of her children. Betty kept busy with her large gardens, raising chickens, baking and her hobbies. She made many special Christmas toys for her kids and could fix anything they brought to her. In 1988 they moved off the farm and she enjoyed working at Lake Wisconsin Country Club until she started at Maplewood Nursing Home as a CNA.
