Obituary - Betty Marie VanMeter
Betty Marie VanMeter

Betty Marie VanMeter passed away on September 17, 2020 surrounded by her family. Betty was born in Kern County, California to Willie Mae and Joseph Palmer on September 24, 1936.

Betty was small in stature, but larger than life. Known by her grandchildren and great grandchildren as GrandMeter, Betty was a mother to our friends and could make a stranger feel like family. Betty was a fabulous cook, loved to entertain, and could often be found working in her yard. In her later years, Betty found great joy with her companions at Jo’s Stillwater Tea Room. Her zest for life will remain unmatched.

Betty is survived by her children Verna and David Furtado, Eva and Jack Feeney, Michelle Gulden, and Natalie and Joe Lane. Betty is also survived by 12 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren, and 1 great-great-grandchild.

There are no services planned at this time.

Comment publication date: 8/17/26, 7:40 PM Comment source: Jorge Jose Guerrero Comment author: Patti Cole Comment text: Marie will be forever treasured in memories. The memories remain of a soft-spoken, seemingly unassuming but determined individual who absolutely knew what path she wanted to take in life, and followed it. Her instinctive reactions, which highlighted her steadfast level of love and caring for her family, friends and all living things found in nature, hold lessons for us all. An unexpected splash of her self-deprecating humor, coupled with uncanny timing, will always bring a smile. For me, Marie lives on in the sighting of a Black-crowned night heron in the tules, the bloom of a beautiful spring flower and, most poetically, in the struggle of wildlife photographers handling their very large camera lenses.

Her dad Ted was my dad's brother. I never knew Ted or Betty, but I wish I did. I am 73 and live in IL. I am building my family tree and see where Betty has fit in. Blessings to you Curt and family.
