Betty M. KYGER (nee Riggle), age 96. Beloved wife of Russell E. (deceased). Dearest mother of Celia Huffman, Marilyn Remick (deceased). Loving Gram to Craig (Deniene) and Melanie (Frank). Loving Great-Gram to Jordan, Terry, Tyler and Travis. Dear sister of Robert (deceased), Pauline (deceased), Rodney (deceased), Marjorie (deceased), Rosemary (deceased), Dorothy, Edna, June, Joyce and Patricia. Dear Aunt and friend to those too numerous to count.
Betty loved her family and friends loyally and fiercely. She was generous, strong-minded, resilient and wanted the best for those she loved. She was an amazing cook and baker with her specialties, Beef and homemade Noodles, Coconut Cream Pie and Brownies. She was a great reader and strong supporter of education. She also played a mean game of Euchre and was a whiz at crossword and search-a-word puzzles. She worked for Lorain City Schools in food services and was active for over 50 years in the American Legion Auxiliary (Lorain, Post 30) and its affiliate organization, Eight and Forty. She attended Cuyahoga Valley Church, Broadview Heights Campus.
On December 12, 2020, when Jesus held out his hand to her, she took it and moved to an amazing land of restoration where all is made new. She is enjoying a reunion with those who took that path before her and we look forward to seeing her again someday.
Private services will be held in the new year. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made in her name to The Salvation Army of Greater Cleveland, 2507 East 22 nd Street, Cleveland, 44115. Arrangements by The Zabor Funeral Home, Parma. To offer condolences, visit www.ZaborFH.com
