William (Bill) K. Betz, 88, of Gothenburg, Nebraska, died December 16, 2022 at Hilltop Estates.
Born January 15, 1934, in at Farrar Hospital to Gottlob Betz and Elsie (Dietrich) Betz. He attended grade school at Farrar, north of Moorefield and south of Eustis. After completing 8th grade at the Hunt school he started farming full time with his father at the farm in West Canyon, south of Eustis.
Bill and Bonnie Jean (Russell) were married on May 26, 1960 at the Dawson County Courthouse. They continued to farm south of Eustis and were blessed with 3 children. Bill and Bonnie were married for 61 years until she passed September 12, 2021. Bill farmed at the homestead until 1980. Bill farmed and worked for Hi Line Implements until he took a full time job with Frontier County as a heavy equipment operator. He took great pride in maintaining Frontier County roads year round. Even after a work accident on a county project, you would always find Bill doing something to occupy his time. Whether mowing for his neighbors, or tinkering in his workshop, Bill kept active.
Bill and Bonnie made their home in Gothenburg, NE where they resided until declining health resulted in Bonnie moving. Eventually, Bill also moved into assisted living at the same facility so he could be near Bonnie.
Bill was preceded in death by his parents Gottlob and older brother Walter Betz, and wife Bonnie Betz.
Interment will follow in the Farnam Cemetery, Farnam, Nebraska.
