Betty May Somervill, age 92, entered into eternal life on December 25, 2022. It was her best Christmas gift ever. She was surrounded by family in love.
Betty was born May 1, 1930, in Blissfield, MI, and resided most of her life on Somervill Road in Jackson, MI. She was predeceased by her husband of 66 years, Donald Dean Somervill. Her parents, Orley and Edith (Hunter) Rowe died when Betty was young and she was lovingly raised by her grandparents and sweet aunts.
Betty was a lifelong member of Rives Baptist Church. She considered it an honor to be a homemaker and perfected pies of all kinds. Betty and Dean enjoyed traveling the world, experiencing five continents. She followed her husband anywhere.
She is survived by her daughters, Sharon (Blaine) Wittkopp, of Williamsburg, MI (formerly of Portland, MI), and Brenda Gratz of Jackson, MI; three granddaughters, Courtney Bedore of Atlanta, GA, Carmen (Jordan) Burke of Kalamazoo, MI, and Morgan Wittkopp of Kalamazoo, MI.
We wish to thank Hospice of Lansing as well as current and former staff at Country Living Senior Care in Portland, MI for their loving care.
