Betty Jane Belson

Mrs. Betty Jane Belson, age 90, of Battle Creek, (Formerly of Nashville) passed away Wednesday, August 2, 2017 at Stoneridge Adult Foster Care, in Bellevue, MI.

Betty was born in Niles, MI on January 18, 1927, the daughter of the late Harold and Alta (Bowling) Gould. She was raised in the Niles area and attended local schools until her family relocated to the Cloverdale area. Betty completed her education at Delton High School graduating in 1945.

She was the widow of Mr. Archie Belson Jr.. The couple was married June 9, 1946 in Cloverdale, MI. and made their home together on Guernsey Lake Road in Delton until 1956 when they moved to their farm on Barryville Road. Archie & Betty had been married 26 years when Archie passed away in 1972. For over 20 years Betty hosted Thanksgiving at her home, to reunite the family, and to maintain her strong connection with her husband's family, a tradition which has been cherished by both families.

Betty spent several years working as a nurses aide at the Barry County Medical Facility before taking a job as an Underwriter for Federal Home & Life Company in Battle Creek. She retired at the age of 62.

In her spare time, grandma enjoyed crocheting, knitting dishcloths, which she would give away to family and friends. After retiring, she filled her time volunteering at the hospital in Battle Creek for many years. Grass never grew under grandma's feet, she was always on the go!, whether going out to eat, or traveling to one of the many events her grandchildren where involved in, When traveling become more difficult, she enjoyed spending time with her friends at the apartment playing bingo and other games.
