Betty Ann Mott

Betty Ann Mott was born March 14th, 1933, to Ruth and Conrad Buhrman, at their home in St. Libory, Nebraska. She was number four of nine children, one of three girls.

Betty graduated from Grand Island Senior High School in 1951 and went to Omaha for further education. In January 1953, Betty ventured off to Washington, DC, where she arrived in time for the inauguration of President Eisenhower.

Betty then worked for the Department of The Navy at the Pentagon for several years.

She moved to Colorado with her sister Marion and family. She worked at Burns Trust and Reality until meeting Joe Mott. 

They married on April 12th, 1958, in Colorado Springs. They were married 65 years before Joe passed away in 2024.

They raised 8 children in Golden, Colorado; four sons, four daughters. Her family  continues to grow and includes 8 sons and daughters-in-law, 25 grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren (with three on the way), and one great-great-grandchild. She cultivated strong ties, and created family traditions; she will be thought of during holidays and yearly family gatherings.

Betty is preceded in death by her grandson, Jory Adams, her parents, three brothers and one sister, four sisters-in-law, three brothers-in-law, and her beloved Joe.

Betty was 92 when she passed peacefully at home on April 26th, 2025, with all her children, and many grandchildren, around her.

 Betty will be dearly missed by anyone who knew her.
