She was born November 9, 1930, in Campbellsport, the daughter of the late Earl and Wilhelmina (Reschke) Jacky.

He preceded her in death in 2005.

Betty was a brave and resilient woman who stayed strong her in her faith even as she raised three children on her own while working and attending school, then working full-time as an LPN. She will be remembered for being a happy person who enjoyed good conversation, telling stories, and singing. Betty was a generous person who enjoyed memberships in the Friends of the Door County Library, Christian Women’s Club, MOPS, and was a reading buddy at schools in both, Fond du Lac and Sturgeon Bay. She was a member of Sturgeon Bay Community Church. Betty loved playing scrabble, putting together jigsaw puzzles, collecting teapots, and feeding squirrels.
