Betty Kislow

Betty Jean (Foster) Kislow, 78, passed from this life to the next, on Tuesday, November 24, 2020, after a valiant fight with Covid-19.

Betty lit up every room and was loved by everyone she ever met. Most referred to her as “Ma” when they would see her. She enjoyed being with her family the most, but also loved a good garage sale and taking her chances at the casino! Some people think they have the best mom; but our family knows we truly DID have the best mom, sister, grandma, and great-grandma that ever existed. It was impossible not to like her. Her loss has left a large hole in all of our hearts.

Betty is survived by her children, Michael (Lori) Garner, Peggy (Todd) Wold, Rebecca (Mike) Klitzka, Laurie Cota, Kelly (Mike) Rector, and Shannon (Ken) Staskiewicz; her grandchildren, Calla, Dylan, Brooke, Brandy, Nathan, Tiffney, Dustin, Kristin, Cassidy, Cade, Alexa, Hunter, Tabatha, and Carrie; as well as 24 great-grandchildren.

Betty was preceded in death by her husband, Robert L. Kislow, whom she adored.

A celebration of life will be announced at a later date.  Family and friends may go to  www.brainardfuneral.com to leave words of remembrance and online condolences.

The family would like to thank the staff at St. Michael’s IMC Unit for the excellent care they provided to our mother while we could not be with her.

We will love you forever Mom.
