Betty Carol Wilkinson, 94, went to be with Jesus her Savior on Thursday, August 22, 2024. The first born child of Joseph and Beatrice (Tuttle) Goldfine on Christmas Day, 1929, in Superior, WI. She graduated from Superior Central in 1948. Betty married her loving husband, Richard Wilkinson on December 2, 1949. Together they raised their three children in Scanlon, MN. Wilk’s job took them to Billings Montana in 1981 and they enjoyed their time there until returning to Cloquet in 1985 upon his retirement. 

Betty was blessed to visit the Holy Land twice, accompanied by her very loving mother Bea. That was a dream come true. Betty and Richard enjoyed spending their winters at their home in Sarasota, FL. She was a devoted Christian and loved the Lord with all her heart. Her many prayers for her children, grands and great-grands have been felt and will continue to bless them for years to come.
