She leaves to cherish her memory two sisters, Margaret Kessel and Irene (Emil) Gorzo of Medicine Hat; two brothers, Arnold Kochie of Medicine Hat and Richard Kochie of Lampman, Saskatchewan; two nieces, six nephews, three great nieces, one great great nephew and one great great niece.
Betty was predeceased by her parents, Steve and Rose Kochie; three brothers and one niece.
Betty was born in Kipling, Saskatchewan and moved to Alberta at age 18. She had a great love for owls. Betty had a passion for fishing with family or friends and very seldom went home without nabbing at least one.
Betty was a hard worker as a dishwasher and at numerous market gardens. Betty loved to entertain. She made awesome cabbage rolls, perogies and spareribs and hosted many gatherings. Betty also liked gardening and would show off her huge cabbage and potatoes. She loved doing crafts of all sorts and gave them as gifts.
Celebration of Life will be held on July 7th, 2023, from 2:00pm – 5:00pm at Alano Social Club (466 Macleod Trail SE Medicine Hat).
She will be dearly missed by family and all who knew her.
We can draw comfort in knowing that soon God will eliminate all tears and mourning and undo all pain, suffering and death.
Revelation 21:3,4
