Betty Benware Scholz, 69, met Christ on Sept. 25, 2010, after a courageous battle with cancer. She was born June 23, 1941, to Newton and Corneilia Thayer in South Dakota. She met Harold Scholz in 1980. Betty loved reading romance novels. She collected and made dolls. She especially loved all her grandchildren and being with family.
