>>> Betty Lou Scanlan <<<

Betty was called home to join our Heavenly Father in the early morning
of November 10,, 2017 in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. Betty, 80, was
born in Miles City, Montana, on September 9, 1937.

She graduated from Custer County High School where she met the love of
her life, Larry Gene Scanlan. They were married December 31, 1955.

In the early years after their marriage, they worked construction in
the western United States until they returned to Kinsey, Montana in
1967 to farm and ranch. They continued to do so until 1982. During
that period, they raised 5 children on the farm.

In 1982 they moved to Fort Peck, Montana, where Betty assisted Larry
in the continuation of their construction business, worked for Western
Area Power Administration, and also was active on the city council for
several terms. In 1995, Larry and Betty started "snowbirding" in
Arizona and New Mexico, joining with Betty's brothers during the
winter months. Betty loved to travel, and enjoyed many cruises and
other adventures around the world. Their snowbirding resulted in
becoming winter residents in Lake Havasu City, Arizona.

Betty is survived by her loving husband of 62 years, Larry Gene
Scanlan; her five children, Valerie (Marsh) Larimore, Les (Patti)
Scanlan, Curt (Lori) Scanlan, Tom (Krissie) Scanlan, and Greg (Susan)
Scanlan; twelve grandchildren; two great-grandchildren and of course
their schnauzer Fritz!
