MESSNER Betty had a loving
devotion to her family and her home, where she raised her children and
spent countless weekends spoiling her grandchildren. She had a passion
for gardening, tending to her home, and cooking for her family. Betty
was an avid exerciser, walking many miles every morning - even into her
early 90’s. She also regularly attended Grand Lake United Methodist
Church in Celina. Betty worked at
the telephone company and at Sears as a phone operator, where she
retired after many years of service. Betty was preceded
in death by her husband Samuel A. Messner (October 14, 1999). Surviving
are her children, Linda Fogt, Sidney, Ohio, Samuel A. (Gloria) Messner
Holland, Ohio, and Paula (Rich) Rolfes, Celina; a brother Ira (Marilyn)
Belcher, Celina; 7 grandchildren, Dusty, Erick, Jean, Jessica, Ronda,
Jody, Heather; 23 great-grandchildren; and 5
great-great-grandchildren. She was also preceded in death by two
brothers, Bud and Bob Belcher; and sister, Donna Kline. The Messner family
would like to thank the staff and nurses of The Miller Place in Celina,
where Betty was a resident. We will be forever grateful for the care
and comfort they provided her the past two years. Private funeral services will be held on Friday September 4, 2020 at 11:30 at The Cisco Funeral Home in Celina, with Rev. Matt Overman officiating: where the family will receive friends one hour prior to the service. Burial will follow at North Grove Cemetery Celina, Ohio.
In lieu of
flowers, please consider memorial contributions made to The Miller Place
in Celina and/ or The American Diabetes Association. Cisco Funeral
Homes are honored to care for Betty and her family.
